The loved ones of the Hillcrest Primary School jumping castle tragedy victims have gathered to remove the tributes from outside the school — on the day the two last victims were laid to rest.
Earlier this month, the close Devonport community was rocked by the death of six primary school students celebrating the last day of school.
As the students were playing on the jumping castle and inflatable balls, a gust of wind picked up the inflatables, throwing them up in the air and causing children to fall from the height of about 10 metres, according to eyewitness accounts.
Peter Dodt, Jalailah Jayne-Marie Jones, Addison Stewart, Jye Sheehan, Zane Mellor and Chace Harrison died after the incident: three students survived after spending days in hospital.
On Friday, Chace Harrison and Addison Stewart were laid to rest as friends and family gathered to remember the young children gone too soon.
Chace was remembered as "a beautiful young man, whose life has been cut tragically short".
"He was kind and gentle, and he had a fabulous love for reading and books," one of his former teachers said.
Over the past few weeks, thousands of Australians have left flowers, cards and toys outside the primary school, to pay respects to the victims.
On Friday, the temporary memorial was removed and will be stored safely, until the families and school community finalise plans to create a permanent one for the victims.
"[The temporary memorial] has allowed people to reflect and pay their respects in regard to what's occurred at the school, and today was considered an appropriate time to remove those tributes and flowers," Devonport City Council General Manager Matthew Atkins said.
"Today marks the last of the six funerals. It's just over two weeks now since the tragedy occurred and it was the right time to preserve what's being left."
The tributes, including basketballs, teddy bears and photos will be stored. Some flowers will be preserved and the remainder mulched.
The circumstances of the tragedy and whether proper precautions were followed are still being investigated.
Tasmania Police have had help from New South Wales Police in interviewing "a large number of traumatised children" and assisting with the investigation.
