As she continues to honor her son’s memory, Maribel Guardia has begun parting with some of Julián Figueroa’s belongings, following his passing in April 2023. During a recent press gathering, she candidly explained why she chose to donate certain items belonging to her son so that they could be displayed at the upcoming Joan Sebastian Museum.

I gave them to Joan’s museum because I know they are unique and irreplaceable pieces, and they could be lost to future generations,” she explained emotionally in comments reported by the show De Primera Mano.

Has she decided on the final resting place for her son’s ashes?
Since Julián’s passing, Maribel Guardia has kept his ashes with her, as she feels it brings her closer to him. Although she has considered placing them in a special location, she prefers to keep them at home for now. “I still have the ashes with me, and maybe I’ll keep them until the day I die, but I’m not sure,” she shared during the same media encounter.

And when I pass away, they can put me there with Julián, if God wills it,” she concluded.
