The families have also issued a statement through Northamptonshire Police about online fundraising pages.
The statement said: “We can confirm that we have not and will not be setting up any fundraising pages in memory of Emma, Mayci or Louie.
“Any pages showing their photos and/or names are going against our express wishes.
“We really appreciate that people would want to donate or offer help, but we do not want anyone to send money in good faith to a fundraiser we are not involved in.”
