At Pouchers Funeral Directors, we understand that losing a loved one is never easy. That's why our family-run business has been dedicated to serving the community of Newry, Mourne, and surrounding areas for over 44 years. Founded in 1980, we take pride in providing expert funeral services with the highest level of professionalism and dignity.
Our Services
From the initial phone call to the final farewell, we will take care of every detail to allow you to focus on grieving and reflecting on your loved one. Our services include:
Funeral Mass/Service: We will arrange and organize any type of ceremony, regardless of faith, religion, or traditions, including arranging for an organist, singer, or specialized instrumentalist, flowers or wreaths, death notices, and post-burial/cremation refreshments or reflection venues.
Wake: We will take care of everything, including candles, religious ornaments, mass or sympathy card boxes, tressles, catering equipment, and extra chairs. We also provide road signage to guide mourners to the wake house and chained barriers for traffic and parking management.
Burial or Cremation: We will guide you through the differences between burial and cremation, making all the necessary arrangements and bookings as standard. We also take care of any arrangements regarding your loved one's ashes, including burial, scattering, urns, or even formation into jewelry.
Aftercare: We understand that the impact of losing a loved one goes far beyond the funeral. That's why we offer aftercare services, including guiding you through any financial or paperwork processes, ensuring you receive any benefits or financial help you may be entitled to, and providing bereavement counseling to help you cope with your loss.
Why Choose Us
At Pouchers Funeral Directors, we're different from the rest. We experienced firsthand the importance of aftercare when our founder, Paul, passed away in 2015. That's why we prioritize guiding you through the grieving process, ensuring you're not alone and confused in the aftermath of your loss.
