Cremations
Demand for cremation has grown significantly in Ireland in recent times. In many respects it is exactly the same as the more traditional funeral rite, however there are some important and practical differences.
There are many options for your loved one's ashes. Below are a few options :
-
Internment / Scattering at a garden of remembrance or an alternative location.
-
Internment in a columbarium wall or a family grave.
-
Keeping your loved one's ashes at home
We will arrange and advise you on all the necessary documentation necessary in relation to the cremation.
Please contact us for any queries on cremation.
Resomations
As professional members of the Irish Association of Funeral Directors, we are fully equipped and carefully manage all aspects of Resomations. Alkaline hydrolysis, also known as Resomation, Water Cremation, or Aquamation, offers a gentle, eco-friendly alternative to traditional flame cremation or burial. For those seeking a green end-of-life option, Resomation is ideal. The process involves a familiar funeral ceremony, similar to flame cremation, but uses water instead of fire to convert the body to calcium phosphate (ash). The ashes are then presented in the urn of your choice. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries on Resomations.
Burials
At Oliver Reilly Funeral Directors, our burial services are designed to provide a respectful and dignified farewell for your loved one. We offer comprehensive support, from selecting a burial plot to coordinating all necessary arrangements. Our compassionate team is dedicated to ensuring that every detail is meticulously managed, allowing you to focus on honouring your loved one's memory. With a commitment to providing personalised and attentive care, we strive to create a meaningful and comforting experience for you and your family during this difficult time.
