A funeral for the couple killed in a helicopter crash north of KaikÅura is planned for the coming week.
Canterbury pilot Andrew Davidson, 60, and his wife Lin Chen were killed when their EC120 helicopter spiralled out of control and crashed as it came in to land at The Store cafe and campground at Kekerengu for lunch just before 1pm last Tuesday.
Their two children, along with a school friend, were seriously injured in the crash.
A service for the couple will be held in Westpark Chapel in Christchurch on Wednesday 23 December, followed by a private cremation.
