Wednesday funeral for father and two sons

Riley, four, and 15-month-old Travis

Next week's public funeral for a man and his two young sons who drowned on the NSW south coast is to be a celebration of their lives, buoyed by a "massive outpouring of love" from the local community.

Shane O'Neill, a 28-year-old butcher, dived into dark, choppy waters to try to save his sons, Riley, four, and 15-month-old Travis, after the boys fell from the wharf at Tathra, near Bega, on Tuesday night.
