Couple Gets Married at Son's Funeral

The parents of a 7-year-old New York boy killed in a car crash fulfilled the dead child's wishes by getting married at the end of his funeral.

Amilcar Hill and Rahwa Ghirmatzion, parents of Asa Hill, 7, surprised the attendees gathered at the boy's funeral Monday in Buffalo, NY, by reciting marriage vows, which they said was always the boy's wish, The Buffalo News reported.

Asa died a day after his grandfather's car was involved a chain-reaction highway crash last week.

"Asa always wanted us to get married," Rahwa told the paper after the memorial. "He'd say, 'When are you guys going to get married? How come you're not getting married?' And we'd say, "We were waiting for you to be part of it. That's why it's so fitting."

Hundreds of people packed the church for Asa's funeral. The couple surprised attendees by getting married, which the parents say their son had been asking them to do.

Amilcar Hill says Asa's organs were being donated to save other young lives.
