His family and relatives, as well as many people from the world of politics, cinema and art, attended the funeral ceremony held for Arsoy at Barbaros Hayreddin Pasha Mosque in Levent.
Accepting the condolences at the ceremony, his daughter Aşkım Arsoy Sağıroğlu said to the press: "The loss of a father is very difficult, but I am proud that he has many loved ones, it is a very beautiful thing. We will always keep his name alive." he said.
Stating that Yeşilçam meant a lot to his father, Sağıroğlu said, "Yeşilçam was his life for a long time, but he left it in time. He always said, 'I left it in time.' he would say. He went into business. "He continued his life in a different way, but despite that, he was never forgotten, which is a very beautiful thing." he said.
The artist's son, Gökhan Arsoy, stated that his father lived a very special life and added:
"My father lived a life that very few people could have, and passed away peacefully in his own home, with his family, in his own bed, without ever seeing a hospital. Of course, a great value was lost. He was not only a cinema but also a stage artist. He wanted me to be remembered that way. 'I am not only a cinema artist, but also a cinema and stage artist.' he said. He worked for Yeşilçam for years. He took part in the stage for the longest years among those who passed through Yeşilçam. Afterwards, he took part in many activities and held many presidencies. He was a very special person. He educated himself and became special. My father was a great character. May God have mercy on him."
His grandson, Emir Sağıroğlu, stated that he was very saddened by the loss of his grandfather and expressed that they were proud to be his grandson.
"We are sitting on a priceless treasure"
Birol Güven, Director General of Cinema of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, who attended the funeral, underlined that they lost another legend and said, "They are truly such a generation that left such deep marks on us and gave us such emotions. They all truly handed over a treasure to us. We have a very valuable archive. We now have a very large industry that we have built on it. Turkey is a truly great country of cinema and we owe it to them." made his assessment.
Güven, emphasizing that Yeşilçam cinema has achieved great success despite all the impossibilities, said:
"There are truly works they produced despite all the poverty. That's why we can talk about a miracle cinema. Today, we have a very high technology. We have the best cameras, the most beautiful lights and montage sets in the world. We even have artificial intelligence, but unfortunately we cannot reach the feeling that Yeşilçam created on us. I think the value of these great masters will increase day by day. We are sitting on a priceless treasure. May they all rest in peace. May God rest their souls in the light." "Let them go to bed."
Actor Halil Ergün emphasized that Göksel Arsoy was a great asset for the cinema and said, "Believe me, he was a very special person. Göksel Arsoy and those who continued the cinema with him are the wealth of our cinema. We had a cinema in our town, their films would come. Two films a week would come. They were the people we rushed to watch." He included his statements.
The funeral, on which the Galatasaray flag and books bearing his name were placed, was placed on his shoulders and sent off to his final journey after the ceremony.
