Hamidreza Sadr’s body was transferred to Iran after the completion of scientific research and on Saturday, September 4, he relaxed in Tehran’s Nam Avaran Behesht Zahra Plot.
According to the Artmag quoted by ISNA, Ghazaleh Sadr, the son of the writer, film critic and football commentator, who died of cancer on July 16 in the United States, wrote on the page she opened for her father and manages it: “Today, my father We buried him, the soil he loved, the soil of his homeland, the soil of Tehran, his beloved city.
The father had only one wish, and you know that you have read his book to the end. The father’s only will was to donate his body to a scientific center for medical research. He made his decision about a year ago and my mom and I promised to do it. From the moment he signed the donation forms, he said he was energized and happy; Glad that all the organs of his body, and especially those damn tumors, will help other patients, doctors, future generations; Glad that he will give everything he had to the world, to the last particle.
After completing his scientific research, my father was brought to Iran to be where he belonged, along with you friends whom you loved and have. We apologize for not being able to bury your father’s friends in your presence due to the staggering outbreak of the Corona virus. Undoubtedly, the father never wanted his loved ones’ lives to be endangered because of his ceremony.
For years, whenever he used to talk about death and dying and cemeteries and graves, he used to say to everyone with a laugh and in his own words: I have a place in Nam Avaran Plot. You go and think for yourself. And the part was to be what he said.
Today, my father was placed in Behesht Zahra in Plot 255, row 20, number 22, in Plot Nam Avaran, among the lush and beautiful pine trees and close to his athlete friends such as Nasser Hejazi. “Today my father calmed down, in his homeland, in his beloved city of Tehran, a city he knew he would never see again, a city that would not be the same for me without him, a city that would always have something lacking from now on, always.”
