USA Today: Remains of Fidel Castro laid to rest
SANTIAGO DE CUBA – The moment so many in Cuba had dreaded and so many in the U.S. had prayed for finally arrived Sunday when Fidel Castro's ashes were interred in this eastern city where he started his communist revolution.
Cubans expected to see the final ceremony on state television, but they awoke to replays of memorials from the previous week. It was unclear whether the broadcast failed or if Cuban officials decided at the last moment to cut it off.

I understand the vehicle pulling the casket broke down during the ceremony. A little metaphorical.
