Orlando Julius was interred at his newly-built house christened ‘Orlando Julius Afrohouse of Highlife’ in Ijebu-Ijesa.

Before the interment, according to the programme of the burial released by the family, a Christian Wake-Keep was held on May 27 at his home town, Oke Agboja, Ijebu Ijesa, while the funeral service was held at St. Matthew’s Church, Ijebu-Ijesa.
