The funeral took place according to local customs.

After the funeral, many people in Quang Binh and other localities came to pay their respects and express their condolences.

On behalf of the family, Mrs. Vo Hoa Binh, the eldest daughter of General Vo Nguyen Giap and his wife Dang Bich Ha shared: “This year’s 15th day of the 8th lunar month is the day our family has a great separation – our mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother – Associate Professor Dang Bich Ha has passed away.”

Ms. Vo Hoa Binh expressed her gratitude to the leaders and former leaders of the Party, State, ministries, branches, organizations, people and international friends who came to see off and express condolences to the family.

Previously, on the afternoon of September 28, the funeral of Associate Professor Dang Bich Ha was held at the National Funeral Home, No. 5 Tran Thanh Tong, Hanoi.

Ms. Dang Bich Ha (born in 1928) lives in Thanh Chuong district, Nghe An province. She is the eldest daughter of Professor Dang Thai Mai - former Minister of Education, first Director of the Vietnam Institute of Literature.

At the end of 1946, the wedding of Commander-in-Chief Vo Nguyen Giap and Mrs. Dang Bich Ha was held very simply. For more than two-thirds of a century as a life partner, beside General Vo Nguyen Giap, Mrs. Dang Bich Ha silently acted as a solid rear, accompanying him throughout the arduous years of war until he returned to the world of the good people.

Mrs. Dang Bich Ha and General Vo Nguyen Giap had four children together: Vo Hoa Binh, Vo Hanh Phuc, Vo Dien Bien and Vo Hong Nam.
