Staci Denton said her son Brayden put up a "fight worthy of a superhero" as he battled cancer at the tender age of five. As the Indiana family prepared for the boy's funeral, Denton decided to honor her son with a service that was also fit for a superhero.

A picture of Brayden's casket being carried by his superhero friends has been shared hundreds of times on social media.

"He was a huge Spiderman fan," Denton told WLFI-TV. “He had to quit just liking Spiderman because he had all the toys. So really, he liked every superhero.”
