I would have no hesitation what so ever in recommending these funeral directors to handle a family bereavement as not only did they make us feel listened to, involved, or comforted. they also treated our dad with dignity and the upmost respect he deserved, for that we can never thank them enough.
We were never rushed with directions on what needed doing and all our questions were answered in a professional manner and with the upmost respect for our circumstances.

We each took our turn to say bye while they waited patiently and then they took over to do what was needed. Brid then spoke us through all our wishes and arrangements and took on as much or as little as we requested. she left her number and was truly at the end of the phone for any request we had.
I believe they went above and beyond what we needed or asked of them, even things we did not or could not think of ourselves given what we were going through. Even after the funeral Brid arrived with keepsakes we never thought about ourselves and helped me to organize other things weeks after the funeral was over.

I would have no hesitation what so ever in recommending these funeral directors to handle a family bereavement as not only did they make us feel listened to, involved, or comforted. they also treated our dad with dignity and the upmost respect he deserved, for that we can never thank them enough.

Dealing with Foley and McGowan’s funeral directors was a decision my Grandfather would have been very proud of… they were absolutely amazing from the moment we made that dreaded phone call to arrange a funeral.. the respect they had for grandad and my family was something I have never seen before. My family will be forever grateful to David and his team for everything. I would recommend Foley and McGowan to any family when the day comes you unfortunately lose a loved one.

At Christmas 2019 we sadly lost our beloved brother. I cannot recommend Foley & Mc Gowan enough. Anytime is a horrendous time to loose someone you love but at Christmas time it’s very difficult. David and Brid went over and beyond to accommodate us. Sadly John died in Dublin David went out of his way to get John home on Christmas Eve so we could have him with us. David and Brid are so sympathetic and supportive they really took everything into there own hands and relieved us of the heartache in such a sad and difficult time. I would highly recommend Foley & Mc Gowan Funeral directors they are exceptional beyond words.

When my aunt died in London in August of last year it was a shock to all the family. The best call my mum and her family made was to call Foley & McGowan. David and Brid brought them through everything with such genuine compassion and went above and beyond to help bring her body home. Working under Covid restrictions they took care of every small detail and never once, did we as a family feel, as if anything was an issue. We cannot fully express how highly we would recommend this business. Thank you Brid and David, The Brett Family, Rathedmond, Sligo.

I would highly recommend Foley and McGowan Funeral Directors. At the most daunting time of your life, its extremely important to have someone you can trust to do everything. From the first phone call Brid was so helpful, patient, an excellent listener and communicator. We had several meetings and phone calls as every step was explained and we were kept in the loop the whole time. A covid wake whilst in unusual times, the team managed a lovely constant flow of people in and out of the funeral home. The term “to leave no stone left unturned” is very fitting. Both David and Brid and the team exceeded out expercations. The style, care and attention given to every aspect of the wake and funeral was impeccable, Thank you all so much for making what was a difficult time a little easier.

I cannot recommend Foley & McGowan Funeral Director’s enough for their professionalism courtesy and discreteness while working with us on the passing of our parents on two separate occasions.
Our Mother and Father passed within 6 month of each other, on both occasions this professional team were there to help guide us in all off the arrangements from picking out caskets favourite music and floral tribute’s we found no request was to big or to small to ask of them, their attention to details is amazing also encouraging us to include ourselves in the celebration of our parent’s lives, the team they made everything so easy and approachable for us at such and difficult time.
I cannot recommend or thank Foley & McGowan highly enough for their professionalism, courtesy and empathy shown to us.
Thank You

When my closest friend Mark died in 2020, his family approached Foley & McGowan to look after Mark and to plan and assist in his burial. The care and compassion that the was shown to Mark, his family and his friends surpassed what was expected in very sad circumstances.
I can honestly say I have never experienced the level of compassion that David and Bríd showed us, Marks family and friends. I personally will be forever grateful for their compassion and how beautifully they looked after my friend Mark.
Mark was a believer in expressing gratitude so now I say thank you David, Bríd and team for giving us great comfort during a very difficult time.

Could not fault the care and attention everyone gave my family over the two days our father, Arthur Wills, was buried. Their care and attention to detail was superb. We never felt rushed at any time despite a very late evening removal to our church. There was even a chair provided for our mother at the graveside on the day of the burial. Not once, did we feel they were simply going through the motions. All staff were professional, respectful and kind. Sincere thanks for this beautiful service at a very difficult time.

When a family is going through one of life’s major traumas, . Foley & McGowan’s Funeral Home..we have to point out the patience and helpfulness of their staff members and the fact that the funeral director took the time to listen to and understand our needs. It’s no wonder why they have a 5-star rating. Thanks you from the Lawrence family..

Not a client but I’ve watched the documentary you did on Netflix and you’ve seriously helped me deal with the death of loved ones – something which has deeply troubled me for a long time. It’s a piece of education that thousands, if not millions of people should see to help them understand what happens after we’ve died. I genuinely feel so much more comfort about how you and your industry care for us and our loved ones when we pass. Your respect, care, attention to detail and sensitivity appear second to none.

David and his team where so professional, caring and prioritised the dignity of my aunt Marie. She had passed away in London and wanted to be buried in Wexford. David and his team took care of every last detail with such care and utter expertise. They made a very traumatic situation for us, run so smoothly which gave us time to come to terms with Marie’s passing. No words can express our gratitude as a family to Foley and McGowans, without them my aunts wishes would have been impossible to fulfil. Incredible!!!

I cannot thank Bríd and everyone at Foley&McGowan enough for everything they did. In the most devastating time they made my mothers funeral everything she wished for and took all of the stress out of our hands, dignity was the most important thing and I felt that nothing was too much for them. If ever I were to need this service again I would not hesitate to use them, they are of the highest standard.

My father passed away suddenly and I cannot express how amazing David, Andrew, Brid and all at Foley and McGowan’s were at guiding us through the funeral process. The kindness, compassion and professionalism shown by them from beginning to end was outstanding. They were so in tune with our

needs and emotional state and managed to say all the right things and offer all the right advice exactly when we needed it. When we needed to laugh they made us laugh and when we needed to be serious they were serious. It is an amazing gift they have as individuals and we will forever be greatfull for the part they played during such a difficult time for our family.
