Family get payout over mother’s TV  embalming

The relatives of Noreen McGrath, 71, from Dungarvan, Co Waterford, took the case after watching TG4’s controversial Adhlacóirí (Undertakers) programme, which followed three undertakers in Dungarvan, Connemara and Donegal. It was also shown at the 2009 Galway Film Fleadh.
