Cremations

Compassionate guidance for a personal and respectful farewell.

Cremation is an increasingly chosen option for families seeking a farewell that is personal, flexible and centred on remembrance. At Massey Bros., we believe a cremation should never feel impersonal. It can be as meaningful and comforting as any traditional funeral, shaped entirely around the person who has died and the wishes of their family.

Cremation can form part of a wider celebration of life and may be combined with a traditional religious service, a non-religious ceremony, or a personalised gathering at a venue of your choice or within one of our funeral homes. Whatever your wishes, we will assist you in every way possible to ensure the ceremony honours your loved one’s life.

Our experienced funeral directors are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, offering compassionate advice and practical support whenever you need it.

Please contact one of our experienced specialists on
T: 01 453 3333 or

We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Planning a Cremation Service

Ahead of the cremation, we will work closely with you to plan a farewell that feels right for you and your family.

Some of the elements you may wish to consider include:

  • Religious or non-religious services

  • A traditional funeral service before cremation

  • A memorial service or celebration of life held separately or at the crematorium

  • Length and format of the ceremony

  • Choosing a celebrant, clergy member or family-led service

  • Music, readings and personal tributes

  • Photo displays, digital media or live streaming for those who cannot attend

  • Coffin and floral choices

Every family is different, and there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way to say goodbye. Our role is to listen, advise and help you create a ceremony that feels authentic and comforting.

To discuss our cremation options with one of our funeral experts, please get in contact with our Team today.

There are four Crematoria in Dublin & Massey Bros. are proud to work with them all.

Cremation is an increasingly popular option, offering families flexibility and the opportunity to create a personal and meaningful farewell.

While crematoria serve an essential practical purpose, they are also places of reflection, dignity and remembrance. We take great care to ensure that the emotional, cultural and spiritual needs of families are respected throughout the process.

Common Questions About Cremation

  • Yes. Many families choose to hold a funeral service or celebration of life in a church, venue or funeral home, followed by a private cremation. We can help you arrange this in a way that feels calm and unhurried.

  • Yes, but there are different options available. We will guide you through suitable and respectful choices, taking into account personal preferences and budget.

  • The cremation itself takes place following the service, with cremated remains usually available within a few days. We will keep you fully informed throughout.

  • Children are welcome to attend if the family feels it is appropriate. We are happy to offer gentle advice on how to prepare them and what to expect.

  • You are not expected to have all the answers. Our team can suggest music, readings and simple structures that many families find comforting and meaningful.

  • Yes, cremated remains can be divided if this is something the family wishes to do. We can advise on suitable keepsakes and urn options.

  • Different faiths approach cremation in different ways. We are experienced in supporting religious, spiritual and non-religious ceremonies with sensitivity and respect.

  • In some locations, permission may be required. We will advise you on what is appropriate and help you plan this when the time feels right.
