Update on ease of Government restrictions on funeral services, as of Monday 6th September 2021.

Numbers attending funerals

From Monday (6th September 2021) all funeral venues (including churches, crematoria and other venues) can accommodate 50% of their usual capacity – this will, obviously vary depending on the venue and funerals directors should confirm exact capacities with the venues.

Reposings/Wakes

The 50% capacity rule also applies to funeral homes/chapels of repose. However, Irish Association of Funeral Directors is advising its members to take a cautious approach to the re-introduction of public wakes at their premises. From a practical point of view, it may be difficult to manage the numbers attending a funeral home and to prevent an unsafe situation from developing. Families should consider continuing with private reposings for family only or by family invitation instead.

We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days of the year. We do not use an answering service so your call will always be answered personally by one of our funeral directors, even if you call us in the middle of the night or at the weekend.
