When you arrange a funeral with Quinns you will find that all requirements can be arranged by calling to our offices, by telephoning us or, if you are unable to attend the office, we would be more then happy to go to your home at a time that suits you and your family.
When contact is made with (you) the family, we ask you to indicate your requirements regarding the date and time you would like to hold the funeral. We co-ordinate these arrangements with the relevant people (Priest / Minister / Preacher) and places (Church / Mosque / Hall ) to ensure they are available. We then confirm the time as per your wishes, with payment made by us on behalf of the family.
With our assistance, if required, you decide on the wording for the Obituary notice in any of the newspapers you would like (Irish Times, Irish Independent, Evening Hearld, local papers and/or papers outside of the country). We co-ordinate it’s publication in the newspapers chosen by the family, with payment made by us on your behalf.
When the service is confirmed, we arrange the Cemetery / Crematorium for a time that will allow the family after the service to chat with friends and other members of the family. We pay all the initial costs and we then provide you with a detailed breakdown of all the funeral expenses. (If the family need a new grave we co-ordinate this with the local council, and make the purchase on your behalf - all deeds will be in the family name and posted out to you after about a month or so).

Our Fleet
Our fleet together with our highly trained chauffeurs will provide you with a dignified and professional service.
Our limousines, should you decide to have one, will collect you from your home or designated address/addresses and are available for the duration of your funeral ceremonies. After the cemetery / crematorium, the limousine will bring you (the family) to your choice of location. If you have arranged a reception after the funeral and this is where the limousine/car dropped you off, should you require, we can arrange for the driver to wait and bring you home.
