Private funeral for 'Croc Hunter' Irwin

"Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin’s funeral will be held privately within seven days, his father said today, confirming that the family had declined a state funeral for the television star.

In a short statement at the family’s Australia Zoo reptile park, Bob Irwin said his son’s funeral would be private at an undisclosed location, and that a public memorial service would be held within two weeks.
