TEHRAN – A funeral procession was held in Tehran on Friday for three crew whose bodies were recovered after their tanker went up in flames in China's East Sea last month.

The funeral procession of the three sailors -Majid Naqian, Mohammad Kavosi and Milad Aravi - was scheduled after Friday prayers at Imam Khomeini Mosalla.

Later the bodies were buried in Tehran, Karaj and Shahin Shahr, Isfahan province, upon their families’ will, IRNA reported.

They were the only three bodies out of 32 crew members recovered from the sunken Sanchi tanker that arrived in the Imam Khomeini Airport early on Wednesday.
