A father and his two sons have been farewelled in three dark caskets topped with cans of beer in outback NSW, nine days after the trio were overcome by noxious fumes in their backyard shed and died.
The combined funeral for Layne Harvey, 44, and his sons Kurtis, 16, and 23-year-old Jakeb - himself a father to a two-year-old girl - was held at the Gary Radford Pavilion in Broken Hill, in the state's far west, on Saturday.
The Harvey boys fell unconscious on June 28 when they tried to help their father who had gone down into the shed's cellar to fix a generator, police believe. Their mother and Layne's wife, Cherie, was home at the time.
The trio was taken to Broken Hill Hospital but died.
About 600 mourners gathered for the one-and-a-half hour funeral service, from 11am (1130 AEST), including Cherie who wore a State of Origin scarf for the NSW Blues, who won the series four days before her husband and sons died.
Some came in hi-vis, other young men in T-shirts with "Yeah the Boys, YTB" in place of the Victoria Bitter logo.
Messages from Cherie and Jakeb's heartbroken partner were read aloud, while Guns N' Roses' Sweet Child O' Mine and Creedence Clearwater Revival's Long As I Can See The Light echoed in the racecourse pavilion.
Two utes were parked at an angle behind the caskets. One had a trail bike in its tray, draped with a riding outfit.
The order of service read: ""Layne, Kurtis & Jakeb. Suddenly taken from us on 28th June 2018. Forever in our hearts" and had a photo of the three Harveys, with the two boys both smiling and holding a can of VB.
Their coffins, laden with floral wreaths, were taken to a nearby cemetery for a private family burial before mourners returned for the wake.
A GoFundMe page, set up by Mr Harvey's older sisters Lisa Doust and Melanie Vugich, had on Saturday afternoon raised more than $11,400 for Mrs Harvey, her daughter Amber and young granddaughter Charlotte.
In lieu of flowers, the family has asked for donations to the local hospital's emergency services department.
