Fundraiser to bring Luton family's ashes home to Argentina
A fundraising campaign has been set up to help bring a Luton mother and her two children’s ashes home to Argentina more than two years after they were murdered.
The family of Juliana Falcon and her children, Kyle and Giselle Prosper, are hoping to raise enough money to help Juliana's sister and brother-in-law travel from Argentina to England to collect their ashes.
Juliana, Kyle and Giselle were cremated, with some of their ashes scattered at a place in England which holds precious memories for the family.
But a portion was kept in the hope that they could one day be spread in Argentina, where Juliana was from.
The family said: “It has now been over two years since we lost them, and we have still not been able to send Juliana, Kyle and Giselle on their final journey home to Argentina.”
Juliana's relatives have been unable to visit England, with the trauma of their deaths and their financial circumstances making it difficult to travel to the UK.
A memorial has been created for Kyle, while a tree has been planted at Giselle's school in her memory and a bench in Juliana's name has been installed in Leagrave.
Organisers want Juliana's relatives to see the memorials, visit the place where some of the ashes were scattered and collect the remaining ashes.
Réka Prosper said: “In one of our last conversations with her [Juliana Prosper], she was saving money up to go home. Unfortunately, that never happened.
“She would have wanted to return home. For us it is very special to be able to do for her and for our kids."
The family added: “Juliana was incredibly proud of her Argentinian heritage and always spoke about her home and family with great love.”
The fundraising will also support All Dressed Up, an organisation which helps girls from financially disadvantaged backgrounds attend their school prom.
It has been visiting Luton for around eight years and supports approximately 150 girls each year, running a pop-up shop where girls can choose their own prom dresses and receive support with make-up, nail treatments and other preparations.
Although its visit to Luton has been secured for this year, funding for next year has not yet been confirmed – and the family hopes to raise enough money to help cover the visits for the next year or two.
A special gala is being held in Giselle's memory, coinciding with what would have been her 16th birthday this year.
Describing her, the family said: “Giselle was elegant, sweet and humble. She loved beautiful dresses, dancing, pink, sparkle and everything girly.”
In June, relatives and friends also came together to remember what would have been Juliana's 50th birthday and Kyle's 18th.
A family spokesperson said: “This tragedy has affected so many people, everyone who knew and loved them. Coming together as a community and supporting one another through grief has been an incredibly important part of our healing.
“People carried us on their backs through grief. We are so very grateful.”
The family is organising a black-tie fundraising gala in Giselle's memory on Saturday, February 27, 2027, at Venue 360 at The Riverside
The event is running from 6pm until midnight, and the evening will include a three-course meal, live performances, a band and a DJ.
They will raise money towards bringing the family's ashes home to Argentina and supporting All Dressed Up. Tickets are available through Eventbrite.
People can also donate through the family's GoFundMe page.
Juliana, Kyle and Giselle were murdered at their family home in Luton on September 13, 2024, by Nicholas Prosper.
Prosper, who was 18 at the time of the killings, pleaded guilty to all three murders at Luton Crown Court in February 2025 and was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 49 years.
