The funeral of gunman Derrick Bird is taking place in his native Cumbria.
Bird's shooting spree left 13 dead, including himself, and 11 others injured
Bird's body is to be cremated at Distington Crematorium, near Workington.
The private service is being conducted by Rev Jim Buchanan, attended by family and close friends only.
Taxi driver Bird gunned down 12 people across a 45-mile area from Whitehaven to Boot in west Cumbria before taking his own life on June 2.
The 52-year-old is believed to have shot his twin brother David first before gunning down the family's solictor and a colleague at the Whitehaven taxi rank.
He also injured 11 other people as he drove around shooting indiscriminately.
In a statement, David Bird's family said: "We send our love and support to our Grandma, Auntie, Uncle and Cousins on this difficult day.
"As you can imagine this has been a very hard time for our family and at this present moment we do not feel physically and emotionally strong enough to attend the funeral.
"However, we would like to express our love and support to the rest of the family."
Police have so far focused on whether the rampage was caused by a family feud over money.
Earlier, more than 120 mourners packed a town crematorium for the funeral of the youngest victim of Bird.
Jamie Clark, 23, an estate agent from Carlisle, was driving through Seascale on his way back from a viewing when Bird opened fire on him.
Mr Clark's father Richard told Sky News he backed how the police handled the hunt for Bird and said nothing more could have been done to stop him sooner.
