When Lachie Love is farewelled on Sunday, giant inflatable T-Rexes will hand out the order of service and he will be honoured with a Nerf gun salute.
The Auckland 10-year-old’s funeral will be just like him – “vibrant, fun and all about the people”.
Lachie died on Tuesday after battling diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) – one of the rarest and most aggressive forms of brain cancer – for two and a half years.
His heartbroken parents, Liesje and Andy Love, said he died at home in bed surrounded by loved ones including little brother Harry.
