We're the Yunkaporta family from the Apalech clan in far north Queensland. Our dear brother was taken by a crocodile recently and we need to raise money for his funeral. We are all so shocked and upset, many in our extended family have taken time off work and lost income, so we are reaching out to ask for some help for funeral costs.

You can leave a message here to be read out at the funeral, and we will share the funeral date once we find out when police are releasing his body from forensics.

Apologies we can't say his name or show his photo, which is our custom in mourning.

These details can be found in the media, e.g. https://nit.com.au/10-02-2025/16152/remains-found-following-disappearance-of-aurukun-man
