Kieran Bros Funeral Care

Kieran Bros Funeral Care Providing funeral directing services in Kingscourt, Co. Cavan for seven decades. Colm has overseen the construction of the Kieran Bros.

Kieran Bros Funeral Care was formed in 1954 by brothers Tom and Tony Kieran who came from Magheracloone, Carrickmacross, Co Monaghan to set up their business in Kingscourt. For eight decades, the Kieran Family have been providing Funeral Directing services in the town of Kingscourt and the surrounding areas. Over these years, Tony observed much change in funeral service and adapted the business to meet changing technologies and the ever-changing needs of bereaved families. For example in 1954 before the invention of email and fax, all funeral notices for newspapers were given verbally to newspaper staff after waiting in a long queue (over the phone) to speak with one of their agents. Today funeral notices can be sent by email from mobile phones to all relevant newspapers, websites and radio stations simultaneously in a matter of seconds. Funeral directors in the nineteen fifties were expected by their customers to organize a selection of stout, beer and ci******es for visitors to a “wake house”. Fast forward to the present day and the practice of serving alcohol at a “traditional” Irish Wake is almost unheard of and instead, a Funeral Director is more likely to now to have to organise gluten-free sandwiches rather than Guinness! Tony’s son Colm joined the business on a full-time basis in 2011 having worked in many aspects of the business from an early age. Colm graduated as a Civil Engineer and in 2003 and has worked in the various types of services industries for over 15 years providing project management services for companies of various sizes, local authorities, and multinationals. Funeral Home in Hall Street, Kingscourt as well as the rebranding of the company to Kieran Bros Funeral Care. In 2013 Colm achieved the FETAC Level 5 “Certificate in Funeral Practice” qualification. This course designed & delivered by the Irish Association of Funeral Directors (IAFD) to provide a combination of formal classroom & practical based training to meet the needs of Funeral Directors. In 2014 Colm joined the Board of Directors of the National Association of Funeral Directors where he became involved in their education and communications committees. From 2015 to 2018 Colm acted as spokesperson for this national association and continues to be involved as a tutor in the delivery of their education courses to Funeral Directors across Ireland. In 2020, Colm completed the IIOC Certificate in Funeral Celebrancy. A Certificate in Funeral Celebrancy is designed for those who wish to be fully trained as a professional funeral Celebrant. It includes ceremonies for funerals, memorials, scattering of ashes, and all aspects of a funeral service and is delivered by experts with many years of experience.

✨ Christmas Remembrance – A Second Video ✨

Following the overwhelming response to our first remembrance video, we were conscious that many people didn’t get the chance to take part. Because of that response, we’ve put together this second remembrance video, shared this evening on Christmas Eve.
We know this time of year can be especially difficult for many families. While it can be hard to watch something like this, it’s also important to acknowledge that for many, there are spaces missing at tables, and loved ones very much missed.

Thanks to those who sent in details and photos for this video, as you can see from the messages shared, each person is loved and never forgotten.

We hope this brings some comfort, however small, to those who are grieving at this time.

From all of us at Kieran Bros, thank you for trusting us with these memories and we would like to wish you all a Happy Christmas and peaceful new year.
