'A great honour' for Share as they keep tradition alive at funeral of Kenyon Jones Ginn

A native of the Black Mountains in Wales, Kenyon Jones Ginn entered a nursing home four years ago after developing dementia. He died last month at the age of 85

The lady sitting on her own in Coughlan’s Funeral Home on Shandon St, Cork City, didn’t want to give her name. 

She was there, she said, because she had heard about the Welsh chap who had died recently. She just wanted to pay her respects on her way into town to do some Christmas shopping before lunchtime. After that, it would be too busy.
