The funeral of King Manco Cápac I was held in Cardenas, the capital city of Nouvelle Alexandrie.

Dignitaries from around the world attended the state funeral to pay their respects and honor the memory of King Manco Cápac I.
Ceremony
The funeral procession began at the Palace of Carranza, where King Manco Cápac I's body lay in state. The casket, draped in the flag of Nouvelle Alexandrie, was carried by members of the royal guard and accompanied by a procession of spiritual leaders from the Faith of Inti, the Church of Alexandria, and the Church of Caputia.
In a nod to Wechua traditions, a ceremonial offering was made to the gods, seeking their protection and guidance for the late king's journey to the afterlife. The offering included symbolic items representing the four elements: earth, water, fire, and air. Traditional Wechua music, played on instruments such as the quena and the zampoña, filled the air as the procession made its way to the Cathedral of Saint Sebastian in Cardenas.
At the cathedral, a Nazarene mass was held, led by the Archbishop of Cardenas. Prayers, hymns, and readings from both the Bible and Wechua sacred texts were incorporated into the service, highlighting the fusion of the two faith traditions. The mass concluded with a moving eulogy, delivered by King Sinchi Roca, that celebrated his late father's life and legacy.
