I suppose if you get this kind of a send off you can say your life was a success.
PNBHS Haka for Mr. Dawson Tamatea's Funeral Service
quote:
When Dawson Tamatea, a popular teacher at Palmerston North Boy’s High School in New Zealand passed away, his students decided to do something truly unique and unexpected for him.
Dawson was a Math teacher that joined the school in 1986. After his death, the school decided to close for half a day, so that every student had the chance to attend the services. The next clip shows the moment the hearse makes its way through the cemetery. Pay attention to the group of students who came together to honor their beloved teacher. What they do is called a haka, a traditional war cry that was often performed by warriors to, among other things, pay respect or tribute to someone special.

I get chills every time I watch these. There is another video where one of NZ's military units performs the haka in honor of a soldier they lost in Afghanistan(I believe). Deep shite
