According to AFP news agency, five lorries were needed to take all the tributes to the cemetery, most of which had been sent anonymously.
The funeral procession was accompanied by a band playing ranchero music and narcocorridos – songs praising drug lords.
The traditional song El Muchacho Alegre (The Cheerful Boy) was played as Oseguera’s gold-coloured coffin arrived at a chapel located inside the cemetery grounds, local media reported.
After an hour-long ceremony, the mourners – many of whom concealed their identities using face masks – followed the coffin as it was carried to the grave.
Mexican media noted that the plot was relatively plain compared with those of other drug lords, which are often topped by large mausoleums.
