Who We Are

A Galway
family, caring
for your family

For over a century, O'Flaherty Funeral Directors has been woven into the fabric of Galway life — a family name that other Galway families turn to in their most vulnerable moments, trusting us to hold the details with reverence while they hold each other.

We understand the deep traditions of Irish funeral culture — Catholic, secular, and every faith and path in between. We know the churches, the chapels, the cemeteries, and the roads from Oranmore to Connemara. Whatever your beliefs, whatever your loved one's wishes, we carry every family we serve as if they were our own.

Pre-Planning

Plan ahead
so they don't have to

Pre-arranging your own funeral is one of the most loving things you can do. It removes the burden from your family at a time when they need to focus on each other — and ensures your wishes are honoured, exactly as you intend.
