Sepelios Pinier is one of the most well-known funeral homes in Argentina.

The company apologized for taking the photo, and said that the photographers were not official employees, but rather workers that the company sometimes used to carry and transport. They were alone with Maradona's body for only two minutes, during which they hurried and took pictures.

The company explained that the owner of the idea and the initiator of the photography with a mobile phone is the one who puts his palm in the picture on the forehead of Maradona, and raises his thumb in admiration for what he does.

While the second photo of two other workers, we see one of them raising his thumb as well, imitating the first.
