The church is located at 4400 W 18th Ave, Hialeah, FL 33012.

Previously, the singer Jorge Junior, director of the group Los 4 and cousin of El Taiger, had shared initial details about the reggaeton artist's funeral in Miami on his social media.

According to their statements, the family is still finalizing the last legal matters.

The announcement comes just a few days after Jorge Junior arrived in Miami with the aim of collecting the ashes of El Taiger, following the unfortunate passing of the popular and beloved Cuban reggaeton artist.

In another official statement issued by El Taiger's team, gratitude was expressed towards the singer's followers and friends for their support during this difficult time.

They also confirmed that they are working with local and religious authorities in Miami to provide a space where fans can pay tribute to the singer.

The artist will be cremated. His ashes will be transported by Jorge Junior to Havana, so he can rest in peace alongside his mother.
