All of the Christian Denominations, including the Catholic Church and the Church of Ireland, are happy to allow cremation.
In keeping with the procedures for burials, it is normal, but not obligatory, to hold services in your local church. The coffin is then removed to the Chapel in the Crematorium grounds where a short committal service, similar to that which would take place at the graveside, is carried out.
There are options to choose from when you decide a cremation. The cremated remains can, for example, be placed in the family plot in the local cemetery or in the Columbarium Wall or Garden of Remembrance in Glasnevin and Mount Jerome Cemeteries.
We will be pleased to discuss the available options with you when arranging the funeral. At the time of making funeral arrangements it is not always easy to realise the emotional benefit that is gained after the funeral by having somewhere that you and your family can go back to, knowing that your loved one is there.
