Funeral Arrangements

Due to Government advice and restrictions regarding public gatherings and to protect our most vulnerable family members and friends, a private family funeral will take place.

Requiem Mass on Wednesday, 28th October, at 12 noon in Christ the King Church, Cooleragh.

The Funeral Mass can be viewed using the following link: https://www.mcnmedia.tv/camera/christ-the-king-church-cooleragh

Due to the restrictions on public gatherings we would ask that rather than arriving at the church, we would encourage you to shine a light to show your respect along the route of the funeral cortege.

The funeral will be leaving Reilly’s Funeral Home, Prosperous on Wednesday morning at 8.30am to arrive at Christ the King Church, Cooleragh, via Staplestown at 9am.

After the funeral mass at 12 noon, the funeral cortege will be passing through Coill Dubh village, up to Brockagh Cross, through Prosperous Village, into Sallins (pausing at the entrance to the church), taking a left at Monread roundabout and making its way to Newlands Cross Crematorium.

Alternatively we would ask that people light a candle and say a prayer at 12 noon on Wednesday in memory of Fr. Jimmy.
