A funeral service for Auckland toddler Aisling Symes is to be held on Friday.
The service for the two-year-old who drowned in a drain in the suburb of Henderson will be held at 11.00am at the Ranui Baptist Church, corner of Swanson and Greenock Roads, where the family worship.
Aisling's parents, Angela and Alan Symes, say the service will be led by Pastor Russell Watts and include family tributes and music in memory of Aisling.
While the funeral service is primarily a time for Aisling's family and friends, it will be open to the public. However, the family have asked that mourners respect their privacy and grief.
"It's not just our family who are grieving for Aisling. So many people are sharing our loss and it is for this reason we are happy for members of the public to attend," the family has said in a statement.
The funeral will be followed by a private cremation service for Aisling.
