Parents Announce Funeral Plans For 2-Year-Old Killed By Alligator

Lane Graves will be laid to rest on Tuesday

Lane Graves, the little boy who tragically died in an alligator attack at Disney’s Grand Floridan Resort and Spa last week, will be laid to rest on Tuesday.

A rosary prayer service will be held at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Elkhorn, Nebraska for the Graves family on Sunday. There will be a wake on Monday, then Lane will be buried on Tuesday at the Resurrection Cemetery.

There will be no mobile, camera or recording devices allowed at the event ‘out of respect for the family’.

The family is not speaking publicly about the incident at this time, with the father, Matt Graves, saying ‘we simply cannot at this time’. 

St. Patrick’s is accepting donations on behalf of the family. The Elkhorn community has also been helping out to raise money for the family at this difficult time.
