Cremation

Cremation is an option chosen by many families today, and we are here to guide you through each stage of the process. We look after all arrangements, including documentation, bookings and transport, and we are always available to answer questions or explain how cremation works within a traditional funeral setting.

Where Cremation Takes Place

The closest crematorium to Youghal is The Island Crematorium at Ringaskiddy, Co. Cork. The location is peaceful, and families may choose to hold a committal service there if they wish.

Committal Services at Our Funeral Home

For families who prefer not to travel long distances, a committal service can be held in our purpose-built funeral home before transfer to the crematorium. This can offer a comfortable and convenient setting and removes the need for mourners to travel to Cork, Dublin or Shannon.

How We Help

We take care of all practical aspects, including:

• Booking the chosen crematorium
• Preparing and submitting the required documentation
• Coordinating transport
• Assisting with music, readings or other elements of the service
• Providing information on urns and options for the final placement of ashes

Our role is to make the process as straightforward as possible and to support families throughout.

After the Cremation

Ashes may be returned to the funeral home or collected from the crematorium. Families may choose to keep the ashes at home, place them in a family grave, scatter them at a chosen location (subject to permissions) or consider other options. We are happy to offer guidance on what may be possible.
