Seven white caskets were met by hundreds of mourners in Halifax Saturday afternoon as the community gathered to say goodbye to the Barho children. Hussein said the decision to make the funeral public came after seeing so much support and compassion for the Barho family from the community. "It wasn't just the Muslim community suffering, it was all Haligonians, everyone in Nova Scotia was suffering and everyone in Canada was also suffering," Hussein said. Members of the Halifax Fire and Police honour guard prepare to receive the caskets of the seven Barho siblings during the funeral for the Syrian refugees in Halifax on Saturday. 1:00All were welcome to attend the funeral, which included an introduction and prayers for the Barho children and their parents, said Yousri ahead of the funeral.
