Funeral Costs

At Fitz-Gerald's we have always been flexible around cost, tailoring the cost to meet every budget. Each family will dictate the cost of the funeral, and so we strive to ensure that the choices are clear, and that good value is available to you across the board. Funeral packages start from €2,950, plus disbursements required by the family.*

There are two parts to a funeral bill:

1. Funeral Directors Charges

Funeral director’s charges include:

• The coffin, as selected by the family.
• Removal of remains from place of death to our funeral home for embalming, preparation, dressing and presentation of the deceased for viewing at the funeral home and/or return to the family home, or a chapel of rest at a nursing home
• Liaising with third parties such as: hospital, nursing home, doctor, coroner, Garda, priest, musicians for the funeral service, florist, embalmer, gravedigger, caterers, paper, radio and Internet death notice publications.
• Attend, oversee and officiate during the course of the funeral.

There is no charge for use of the Funeral Home.

It is possible to have a combination of a private family wake at home followed by a public viewing at the Funeral Home. This combines tradition while also removing the stress of opening your house up to potentially large numbers of visitors.

2. Disbursements

Disbursements and expenses are paid on behalf of the family. They can include any or none of the following, depending on the requirements of the family. As part of our service we will discuss the most appropriate elements for you.

A Funeral can be costly but does not need to be. We can advise you on what elements may be most appropriate for you when you call us.
