We will assist you to decide on a funeral which conforms to the wishes of the deceased and the needs of the family, and which is within the family's financial circumstances.
We will discuss funeral costs when the funeral arrangements are being made, subject to the family indicating that they would prefer costs not to be discussed at the time.
When the funeral arrangements have been agreed we can provide the person responsible with a detailed breakdown of the specific charges making up the total funeral cost.
Charges by the Funeral Director These relate to the services and materials provided by us, and include, for example, costs of coffin, hearse, limousine, habit/shroud and embalming. Disbursements These are payments to third parties which are incurred as part of the agreed funeral arrangements and which we pay on your behalf. They can include grave purchase, grave opening, cremation charges, churches, newspaper notices, flowers, organist, soloist and catering costs.
There is a Bereavement Grant available to all from the Department Social Welfare, for further information on this please see Useful Information
When is the Funeral Account due for Payment?
Funeral accounts are normally presented a couple of weeks after a funeral takes place and the family is asked to settle within a matter of weeks. We understand that sometimes families may experience difficulty in this area and we will do everything we can to help
What is a Pre-Paid Funeral Plan?
A Pre-Paid Funeral Plan allows anyone the opportunity to plan in advance, and to make financial provision for, a funeral sometime in the future. Such plans are often used to give assurance that the costs of the funeral will not be a source of difficulty, especially to relatives and friends
