Coming to a screen near you soon...live Irish funerals

Irish people living abroad can now share family bereavements through internet broadcasts of funerals.

‘Funerals Live’ is the brainchild of Clare businessman Alan Foudy, who has announced plans to create up to 10 jobs over the next 18 months as the service is rolled out.

He said: “Wherever in the world our client may be, whether it is in Australia or the United States, this service provides them with a private weblink to a live stream of a funeral service or the option of a video recording of the entire service, including the burial, within two hours of its conclusion.”
