Charles Digney and Sons Funeral Directors has been serving the Newry community since 1976, when Charles Digney established his funeral business on Sugar Island in Newry. Today, the family business operates from a modern, spacious funeral home at Sugarhouse Quay in Newry — just around the corner from the original premises — and is now run by Charles and his sons Charles, James, and Brendan.
As a small, independent, family-owned business, Charles Digney and Sons pride themselves on providing a dignified, personal, and professional service to support families through one of life's most challenging times. Their aim is to be available day or night, ensuring every funeral is conducted with the utmost respect and care, creating an occasion that families can look back on with dignity and hope.
The firm is a member of the N.A.F.D. (National Association of Funeral Directors) and P.E.A. (Professional associations), both of which require adherence to a strict code of practice. They also offer comprehensive pre-paid funeral plans, providing peace of mind for individuals and their loved ones.
