Seeing a loved one again after they have passed can be very important to some people. It is important that a deceased person is presented for viewing in the best possible way and embalming can help with this. Embalming is a process of temporary preservation using the arterial system to distribute a solution of formaldehyde.
We have a funeral home where you can spend time with your loved one as they repose. We can also bring them home or to a place of worship where people can pay their last respects.
Cremation is an increasingly popular alternative to a traditional funeral and burial. Its ease and affordability simplify end-of-life decisions. If your loved one wished to be cremated, we can liaise with medical authorities and crematoria of your choice. From a Full-Service Funeral to a Direct Cremation. We ensure that your loved one’s wishes are fulfilled.
Your loved one receives a cremation carried out with professionalism and dignity. Without compromising on quality, it offers the same high standard of funeral care associated with the Flynn name.
A direct cremation involves no formal funeral service. It is usually unattended but, in the case of family-led funerals, can include a gathering of mourners.
Water Cremation, also known as Resomation or Green Cremation, is an alternative to flame cremation or burial.
Repatriation is returning a person to their country of origin. We have extensive experience in repatriating someone who has died in Ireland back to their country of origin. This will involve co-ordination of all documents from coroners, embassies and airlines.
A prepaid or pre-arranged funeral plan is an arrangement that you make with the funeral directing service where you make plans for your own funeral. Most often, pre-arranged funerals aim to save your loved ones from the emotional and financial stress of having to plan your funeral.
The time of planning a funeral—from the time of death to the final services like a memorial— also includes a decision-making process that can be difficult to follow through at a time of grieving.
This is why a pre-arranged agreement is often considered beneficial.
