Funeral Services

SFD5
Every person is unique and therefore each funeral is different, and this belief is at the centre of our thoughts when helping you create a meaningful, memorable and personal funeral that honours your loved ones.
Our membership of The Irish Association of Funeral Directors and its Code of Practice gives you the assurance that the funeral will be arranged in a professional and well organised fashion.
Dealing with death is an extremely difficult time. There are many decisions to be made at a time of considerable stress and anxiety. If you have recently lost someone close to you or know someone who has recently been bereaved, there are some immediate things that must be done following a death.
It is very common, however, to be confused about what to do next when someone close to you has just passed away.
That’s where we can help..
Our role as Funeral Director is to offer you our advice on your preferred options and subsequently to arrange everything in accordance with your wishes, and those of the deceased. This usually involves the following:
  • Discuss, advise and plan the type of funeral that you would like to organise.
  • Organise any other third parties such as grave diggers, florists and ceremony musicians required to carry out the funeral.
  • Plan, manage and supervise any funeral mass/services or ceremonies
  • Take care of the deceased throughout all stages of the funeral from the time he/ she is received into our care until the burial/cremation has taken place.
When you get in touch with Smith’s Funeral Directors, we will arrange a time to come and visit you or, for you to visit us – whichever is most convenient for you. We will sit down with you and your family and will talk through what needs to be done next. We will also give you advice about the various options such as:
  • Locations and times for a wake/viewing.
  • Funeral ceremonies (religious and non-religious).
  • How to decide between a burial and cremation.
  • Show what caskets, coffins, or urns can be used.
  • After discussing your requirements, we will arrange the funeral you want, taking responsibility for organising every aspect of the event and delivering it at the highest professional standards.
