I received the below message and photo from Declan's brother Kieran:

Finished off his eulogy by saying the star wars box was in mint condition but the contents have been well used and loved.

That is fantastic. A real credit to him and his family that even at that tough time they were able to get SW, and a joke, in to his funeral. Brilliant touch. It made me smile. I'm sure he would have been the same.


RIP

That's a great send off and really decent of his family to share a picture from what must have been an incredibly difficult day.

Edd, I thought this may be of interest to your members. It was chipsteaks funeral yesterday. And we buried him in a star wars coffin. Here is a screenshot from the service. Finished of his eulogy by saying the star wars box was in mint condition but the contents have been well used and loved.
