Religious Funerals

Our experience as Sligo’s longest established funeral directors provides us with an understanding of the customs, traditions and philosophies of many religious faiths as they relate to funerals, including those of faiths which are relatively new to Ireland.

Where a family would like a religious funeral ceremony, the bulk of content for the ceremony is arranged directly with the celebrant. This will include deciding on:

• The people who will be involved and what they will do.
• Choice of hymns or music.
• Readings, prayers and the eulogy.
• The removal.
• The committal.

Feehily’s will provide support and advice to the family as they decide how they would like the funeral ceremony to take place.

If the family do not have a link with a specific church in their area we can assist in making the necessary arrangements. We are also able to assist with advice on:

• Popular hymns and music.
• Suggested scripture readings and poetry.
• Musicians and singers.
• The design and print of a Mass booklet or Order of Service.
• Recording of a favourite piece of music to be played at the ceremony.
• Church flowers and floral tributes.
