The combined funeral honoured the memory of Allison King, sister Abigail Jackson and her husband Adam Jackson, sister Mary Dyson and her husband Robert Dyson, sister Amy Steenburg and her husband Axel Steenburg and his older brother, Richard Steenburg.
They were the ill-fated victims of what has been the deadliest traffic accident to rock the nation in almost a decade.
