Rom Massey & Sons was founded by Rom, the son of Patrick Massey, who opened his first funeral home in the 1930s. Rom has also served as the president of the Irish Association of Funeral Directors and was the inaugural Irish president of the British Institute of Embalmers.

Although Rom is currently semi-retired, he still enjoys coming to work and staying engaged with the business. You might even spot him at the gates of Mount Jerome Cemetery from time to time.

In the past, Rom kept four black Friesian horses on the grounds of Mount Jerome, which were used to pull the horse-drawn hearse. Nowadays, he can often be seen walking his two Bichon Frise dogs, who some say tend to pull him along!
