What is the first step when someone dies?
When a death occurs, it is important to contact your funeral director at an early stage. In advance of organising funeral arrangements, it is necessary to establish that a death notification is available. The issue of this notice is dependent on various factors such as whether the deceased was under the care of a doctor, living in a nursing home or in hospital, sudden death or other circumstances. Please contact us here at McGuinness & O’Connell Funeral Directors should you require further guidance in this regard.
Do you do Eco Coffins?
We can also offer environmentally friendly eco coffins. These are manufactured using wicker meaning that they are easily dissolved into the earth and do not contain any varnish, plastics or metals. Wicker coffins are woven using natural materials and traditional weaving methods.
