Funeral services for two sisters killed in a Memorial Day crash in Newport Beach that killed three other teens are scheduled for Sunday in Corona del Mar.

Services for Robin Cabrera, 17, and Aurora Cabrera, 16, of Irvine, are to be held at Pacific View Memorial Park & Mortuary, 3500 Pacific View Drive, according to a representative of the mortuary.

The public services begin at 11 a.m. and will last until about 5 p.m.

According to an email sent by Irvine High School Principal Monica Colunga to members of the school community Tuesday afternoon, prayers and rosary will start at 1 p.m., followed by eulogies.

A fundraising website has been set up in memory of the Cabrera sisters, and as of about 5 p.m. Tuesday, $1,908 had been raised.

“Our entire family is heartbroken to lose them both so suddenly,” the site reads in part. “No words can convey the grief and sadness that this tragic event has brought upon us all.”

Robin and Aurora were among five teens killed in the crash on Jamboree Road.

Irvine Unified School District spokesman Ian Hanigan said he hadn’t received information about memorials or services for any of the other students killed in the single-car accident — driver Abdulrahman M. Alyahyan, Nozad Al Hamawendi and Cecilia D. Zamora, all 17.
