Rob's relatives and around eighty-five others attended the occasion hosted by Lord Mayor of Leeds Abigail Marshall Katung.
James Lewis, head of Leeds City Council, Jamie Jones-Buchanan, their former colleague, Tanya Curry, CEO of the MND Association, and others were invited as well.
A place in West Yorkshire was his home. Just hours before the groundbreaking ceremony for a new center dedicated to research into motor neuron disease (MND) was to take place, he passed away in a hospital close by.
Hundreds of mourners lined the streets at noon on July 7 to see Burrow taken to a private funeral.
There were a lot of blue-shirted Leeds Rhinos who turned the roadways blue. Featherstone Lions ARLFC juniors were also there, dressed appropriately.
As the celebrity's hearse passed past the onlookers, a police motorbike trailed after.
The rugby great's 2006 bride Lindsey and their three children, Macy, Maya, and Jackson, were escorted by five vehicles.
Joanne Hartshorne and Claire Burnett, two of Rob's sisters, were also part of the cortege, along with his parents, Geoff and Irene.
Behind the white flower arrangements were his remains, laid to rest on blue fabric with the words "Dad," "Bro," and "Son" inscribed.
The star's junior rugby team, Featherstone Lions, was the site of a brief stop for his entourage. In order for individuals to express their sorrow, a book of condolences was launched.
In his heartfelt last letter, he urged people to "waste a moment" of their life and begged that it be spread after his death.
There is a lot of difficulty in this world, but Burrow said, "We must still dare to dream."
The father of three has been actively fighting motor neuron disease (MND) since he was diagnosed with the disease in 2019.
The rugby player "made the world a better place," according to Rob's wife Lindsey Burrow, in a touching homage.
Ian Flatt, 58 years old and Rob's buddy, is reportedly going to climb seven mountains while in a wheelchair in memory of Rob. This information was first published by the Sun. In 2019, Flatt received the news that she had motor neuron disease.
