The new Irish business giving you control over your final farewell

Funeral planning business My Farewell Wishes helps people to decide their funeral arrangements in advance, taking the added stress away from their loved ones at a time of grief

My Farewell Wishes co-founder Colm Kiernan: 'We estimate that there are as many as 60 questions facing families at the initial engagement with a funeral director, and My Farewell Wishes can reduce that burden significantly and steer the process in the direction of the deceased’s express wishes.'

That old saying — the only guarantees in life are death and taxes — has gotten an interesting update in 2023. A new Irish business is helping to take the stress out of funeral arrangements by bringing the wishes of the deceased more clearly into the picture. 

My Farewell Wishes, a new funeral planning business, has recently commenced countrywide operations with the support of more than 40 of the country’s top funeral directors across 57 locations.
