Today’s funeral for 6-year-old Jacob Hall, who died on Saturday following a school shooting in South Carolina last week, was a somber yet superhero-studded affair. The New York Daily News reports that a man dressed as Batman delivered the eulogy at the service after family members asked attendees to dress up as superheroes instead of donning black attire. “Keep an eye on each other. Care about each other, love each other,“ said John Buckland, who runs the charity Hope4Higher and often works as an inspirational speaker in schools while dressed as a superhero. “Take what we’ve learned from Jacob, and let it make you a better husband, a better father, a better brother, a better sister, a better everything.“ Hall’s body was likewise dressed in a Batman costume, while his brother went as Superman.
