Honouring Life

Update on ease of Government restrictions on funeral services, as of Monday 10th May.

Unfortunately, it is still not possible to have a large funeral as we still navigate the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.

We understand how difficult this is for you the families we serve but the safety of everyone is our priority. We must play our part in the strict adherence to these instructions.

Only immediate family and close friends should attend the funeral.
No more than 50 people are permitted to attend the funeral service or be present at the graveside. Numbers allowed in Crematoria vary, your Funeral Arranger will be able to advise on exact numbers.

The numbers who may attend gatherings in our funeral homes is limited at this time. Again, your Funeral Arranger can advise you on the numbers as it depends on the size of the funeral home.

Face masks must be worn when entering our funeral homes. It is also recommended that they are worn in churches and crematoriums. When visiting our funeral homes for your safety, we ask that you provide your contact details for the benefit of track and trace.

Those in attendance will also need to follow social distancing guidelines. This means all funeral attendees must keep a distance of 2 metres apart.

Physical interactions including shaking hands and hugging must be avoided.
Those who are self-isolating or need to restrict their movements can not attend funerals.

Many of our churches have implemented streaming services so that family and friends can view the service from home. Please ask your Funeral arranger for details.

We encourage the wider family and friends of loved ones who have passed, to leave a message of condolence on our website www.masseybros/funeral-notices/
It is essential for the safety of everyone that we act wisely and adhere to these clear instructions from our Government.

From us all at Massey Bros we would like to sincerely thank you for your co-operation during these difficult times. #Staysafe

First Steps to Arrange a Funeral

Arranging a funeral

Most people only arrange one funeral in their lifetime. While it is an honour to have been entrusted with arranging the funeral of a loved one, the process may appear to be somewhat daunting.

To ensure you have all the information you need and are fully aware of the options available to you we have created a guide to arranging a funeral which can be printed or downloaded so that you and your family can read it in your own time.

Planning your own funeral

More and more people are choosing to take care of their own funeral arrangements whether they want their funeral to take place in Ireland or overseas.

Massey Bros. is able to help you put in place the plans which will bring you peace of mind. Not only are we able to offer you a range of plans so that your funeral can be paid for in advance, but we are also able to work with you to create a funeral which is unique to you, ensuring that your wishes are safely recorded, right down to the very last detail.

Over recent years, the level of choice available to people arranging a funeral has vastly increased. Not only do people now have the choice of a religious or civil funeral, burial or cremation, but they also have a range of choices in relation to how the funeral is conducted, who takes part, the type of coffin and so on. And to make sure that your choices do not become confusing, it is our job to make sure that you have the information you need to make the right decisions which best reflect your wishes.

We are here to help you take care of every detail. To find out more, please contact your local Massey Bros. funeral home.
