I told some friends at work about it, and they are sad that they missed it. Please play it again, it was lovely and it will give those who missed it a chance to pay their last respects like I did.

I agree - I know that soooo many people watched it last night but there are many of us who didn't even know it was on!!! Please replay this for us, alot of us would really benefit from seeing it!

It's not great quality. Animal Planet would be wise to make this available, along with the tributes, and perhaps the Croc Hunter shows on DVD.

My kids wanted to see the memorial, but the 9pm showing was to late (they fell asleep). please show it again

I totally agree with this suggestion to either televise it again or make it available on DVD. I know I would purchase a copy so that I can remind my 4 yr. old son about the importance of who Steve Irwin was and what he did for the environment. He will be missed by all.

I think it would be a great idea to make a DVD of the service and sell it with all proceeds going to either "The CRIKEY fund" or the Wildlife Warriors. I know I would buy several copies to give away. It was an amazing experience. I watched both showings and cried at both of them. Steve was a great guy, Bindi is a strong young lady, Bob is the spitting image of his father, and Terri...I don't even know what to say about Terri, every time I saw her I started crying again. My heart goes out to you, sending a hug from Phx, AZ.

I also wish they would air the memorial service again.I caught the ending of it.My 12 year old daughter is a big steve fan and she missed it and i know she would have loved to see it

i want to see the memorial televised again as well. i didn't even know that the memorial had aired until after the 9PST showing and i had been watching croc hunter a couple of times last week and didn't see any advertisements for it i tried watching it online, but the quality is horrible.

maybe if we can get alot more requests here at the forum, animal planet will understand there's a demand for it. they don't seem to really read their e-mails. and i wholeheartedly agree about releasing some kind of tribute dvd, with more episodes of croc hunter and the memorial service.

Rather than using the contact us option on the website I sent an email here.

Maybe if enough people email them they'll decide to show it again.

I also would love to see it again. I really would like a copy of the poem that was read "the crocodiles are crying" I believe was the name....it was wonderful. God speed Steve. Bless you Terri, Bindi Bob and Mr Irwin and all the zoo family, I don't know if you will ever know how much Steve was loved.

THE CROCODILES ARE CRYING

Endless visions fill my head – this man – as large as life

And instantly my heart mourns for his angels and his wife

Because the way I see Steve Irwin – just put everything aside

It comes back to his family – it comes back to his pride


His animals inclusive – Crikey – light the place with love!

Shine his star with everything he fought to rise above

The crazy-man of Khaki from the day he left the pouch

Living out his dream and in that classic ‘Stevo’ crouch


Exploding forth with character and redefining cheek

It’s one thing to be honoured as a champion unique

It’s one thing to have microphones and spotlight cameras shoved

It’s another to be taken in and genuinely loved


But that was where he had it right – I guess he always knew

From his fathers’ modest reptile park and then Australia Zoo

We cringed at times and shook our heads – but true to natures call

There was something very Irwin in the make up of us all


Yes the more I care to think of it – the more he had it right

If you’re going to make a difference – make it big and make it bright!

Yes - he was a lunatic! Yes - he went head first!

But he made the world feel happy with his energetic burst


A world so large and loyal that it’s hard to comprehend

I doubt we truly count the warmth until life meets an end

To count it now I say a prayer with words of inspiration

May the spotlight shine forever on his dream for conservation


…My daughter broke the news to me – my six year old in tears

It was like she’d just turned old enough to show her honest fears

I tried to make some sense of it but whilst her Dad was trying

His little girl explained it best…she said “The crocodiles are crying”


Their best mate’s up in heaven now – the crocs up there are smiling!

And as sure as flowers, poems and cards and memories are piling

As sure as we’ll continue with the trademarks of his spiel

Of all the tributes worthy – he was rough…but he was real


As sure as ‘Crikey!’ fills the sky

I think we’ll miss ya Steve…goodbye

please do play the public memorial again!!!! pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssseeeee!!!! i was really waiting for it but then when i looked at the schedule in the site it was aired already and i did not see any advertisements about it... please show the memorial again as much as possible on a weekend so that nobody would miss it because we have no work on weekends. please hear us....

I too would like to see the memorial service, although to see Terri's, Bob (his dad) or his children's faces in grief would to hard to bare. I might (like a child) cover my eyes if they were to show Terri, Bob & children in grief, (I'm cryin just thinking about it.) I guess like many people, this family has touched my heart so deeply with the wonderful things they do for animals and their peronalities in my house on almost a daily basis, they feel like family. I so wish there was something I could do, to some how relieve their grief, but only time itself can do that. Many millions of individuals (like myself) that have never met them, truly love them as they love their own family. Our love and our prayers are the best we can offer to help their grief. And our donations to keep their Australia Zoo strong will help also. Terri, Bob, Bindi & Bob, God bless you and heal you! Steve now managing things from a higher grace. One day we will ALL be united in loving peace and life with our Creator in heaven. And it will be beautiful and so blissful. And we get to see & meet our friend & favorite animal advocate, Steve Irwin!

I also did not know about the memorial being aired until it was already too late. I would so love to see it to pay my last respects to a man I never met, but that impressed me and my family so much. I feel so sad for Terri and the kids. They were such a happy, loving, and energetic family with so much adventure and life ahead of them. Their closeness is so rare in this troubled world we live in today.

I remember a going on a family outing of with my own husband and four kids to the Phinizy swamp in Augusta, Georgia USA near where we live and seeing an alligator down in one of the ponds. Believe it or not Steve is the first person we all thought of when we saw it, as with all the other native snakes and animals we came across on our hikes through the swamp. We kidded and joked and said it would be nice to have him come and visit our little swamp.

He will be remembered and he will be missed. Our love and prayers go out to you Terri and to Bindi and Bob. Also to his father and friends. Stay strong and be happy. I feel he would want that for you all. He will always be close to you in spirit. Blessings to you all.
