What the family kind of is saying is that he was a common fellow who did not deserve that kind of funeral.
IMO he was a person of common beginnings who has earned that kind of funeral so those who have come to appreciate him could also properly mourn his passing.
IMO the family made a mistake here.
In any case, no funeral will bring him back.
We can only pray he was a great afterlife hopefully in heaven.
Maybe he can do us all a favor and wrestle down and tie up Satan for a spell!

A ceremony would help them with that.

Ditto.
May God's love be felt by Mrs. Irwin and His protection extend to Steve's little ones.
