It was a very quick funeral, yesterday a memorial service in Portugal and today already buried in Egypt. Maybe that's the norm for Muslims, I don't know much about it.
In any case, the family is very revered in some countries around the world, I've learned that from these events. And, not to forget the late Aga Khan was 88 years old, when he died, which is quite normal and many people would be happy to have reached that age.
His son is well prepared for succession, and the two handsome little sons are already taught how to keep traditions in that family.
