Finlay Funeralcare

Unfortunately due to factors beyond my control, it was with an extremely heavy heart that I have had to step down from my role as local Funeral Director. This was an extremely difficult decision for me and one that was not made lightly.

My time as a local Funeral Director can only be described as an honour and an extremely humbling experience in the most highest regard possible, it has been incredibly meaningful to me both professionally and personally.

I am deeply grateful and in total gratitude for the support of my fellow colleagues Peter Dunne and Liam O’Brien for their loyal support and professionalism who both were always a pleasure to work alongside. Also to everyone who I have been very fortunate to liaise and learn from i.e. nursing homes & their staff, hospitals & their mortuaries, embalmers, clergy, Sinead and Mary, all the singers & organists, local florist (Noelle), gravediggers and wider identities all of who assisted me to ensure I could carry out my families wishes for their loved one’s final journey and for this I will be eternally grateful to you all. Each and every one of you are such talented and dedicated people to the service.

But my most sincerest and heartfelt thanks from the bottom of my heart goes out to all the families who entrusted me to care for their loved one and who I have had the honour to whether it be at the kitchen table reminiscing or in the funeral home you welcomed me into your family circle at your most vulnerable and I will always cherish our memories and stories together.

I look forward to continue to meet you all out and about the community and keeping in touch with you all, You hold a special place in my heart.

My thanks to all
Dara Gillespie
