A 5-year-old boy who lost his battle against brain cancer earlier this month was given a superheroes funeral, with six special pallbearers.
Brayden Denton's funeral took place in Kentland, Indiana last week, with the pallbearer’s dressed as Spider-Man, Thor, the Hulk, Superman, Iron Man and Batman.
Speaking to the New York Daily News on Monday, Brayden’s mother Staci said: “The whole time I saw them carrying Brayden he was probably up there going, 'This is so cool’. That was his world. That's what he would have wanted.”
