This sounds like it would be a provincial affair. But it very well could become a national one.

Thanks for the ping.
A State Funeral would be a fitting tribute, and it most certainly would be a national event.

I don't think it's unreasonable to classify him as a National Treasure. A state funeral would be quite reasonable.

I think they're waiting to hear if that's what the family, esp. Terri Irwin, wants. I'm not really familiar with Irwin's wife, haven't seen her nearly as much on TV, so it's kind of hard to say if she would agree to have a very public funeral.

I'm just hoping against hope that the media has the decency to leave her alone till she's ready to talk.

I think the man was so likable that he is loved world wide and a fancy state funeral would be proper.

Certainly he was an Aussie Icon. We virtually had a state funeral for Dale Earnhardt. It would be fitting. Not often someone of his stature and renown loses his life in such a tragic way in the prime of his life. I vote for it.

Yet the Brits are already on record that Lady Thatcher will not get one.

He is worthy, he is an Aussie tresure.

This time they won't be 'crocodile tears' ...his favorite species is likely mourning him as well.

Media? Decency? Surely you jest.

If that goes through, only certain members of the Labour Party over there are responsible.

'No state funeral' for Thatcher (She is still alive) I don't mean to take away from the tribute the Aussies will have for the amazing Croc Hunter, just using it to illustrate that we colonials seem to have a better feel for these things.

You can't replace Steve. He was the real deal, a conservative and a conservationist. He didn't do it for the money and fame. He did it because he was passionate about it. It was as natural as breathing for him. This family will miss him. Prayers for his family and surviving loved ones. His poor father ... burying his son and his son won't know him ... he's too little.
