Ben Laferla’s mother urges funeral attendees to bring photos & donate to animal shelters

Sep 30 2022

“Should you wish to do so, print out your favourite photo of/with Ben to attach to a collage at the entrance to the church. Feel free to write a message at the back of the photo.”

The mother of Ben Laferla, the 21-year-old whose life ended abruptly in a Swieqi car incident, has urged funeral attendees to bring printed memories and donate to animal shelters rather than sending flowers.

Fiona Laferla wrote that they think Ben would be happier if attendees donate to Noah’s Ark, CLAWS or to Adopt a Sicilian stray rather than sending flowers, going on to thank everyone for their love and support. She also urged those who plan on attending to not feel the need to wear black but wear whatever they feel comfortable in.

Laferla’s life will be celebrated at the Ibrag Parish Church on Saturday 1st October at 9.30am and friends & family are welcome to attend.

RIP Ben.
