(CNN) – A “superhero funeral” will be held on Wednesday for Jacob Hall, a 6-year-old boy who died after being shot last week at a South Carolina elementary school, CNN affiliate WHNS reported.
Jacob’s mother, Renae Hall, said the boy loved superheroes, with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles being his favorites, and always wanted to save people from danger.
That’s why the pallbearers at the funeral will be dressed in superhero outfits and people attending the funeral are encouraged to wear a superhero costume or T-shirt.
“I don’t want suits and ties and all that,” Hall told WHNS. “There will be a lot of children there and I don’t want it to be scary for them. Jacob will be dressed in his superhero costume.”
