The children were remembered with a candlelight vigil outside of their home after the tragedy. A visitation was held on June 26, 2001, and a funeral was held on June 27, 2001, at Clear Lake Church of Christ in Clear Lake, Texas. The five caskets were white and arranged in a circle. Their father, Rusty Yates, talked about each child while standing at their casket, then kissed them goodbye. He had photographs on display showing the children at their most lively and beautiful selves. Later that day, they were buried, three on one side of a beautiful headstone and two on the other side, at Forest Park East Cemetery.
