We all know that death is something for which preparation is reluctantly considered and pre-planning a funeral is not for everyone. As Ireland becomes more an open-minded and multi-cultural society, people are less afraid to talk about death and their own demise in particular. There are many reasons why one would wish to customise their own funeral. For many people, knowing they have finalised their arrangements in this world can come as a powerful source of personal peace of mind. Making your wishes clear ahead of time can prove to be a great comfort to loved ones and minimise their burden.

Our services include:

• Reposing Location
