"Your caring manner helped make a difficult time much easier for our family. We greatly appreciated the attention to detail and the support provided at every stage."
— Roisin Curley
"This was the first time I had to organise a funeral and Laurence and the team couldn't have been any more helpful. They really did make the whole experience less painful and I will be forever grateful for giving my Mum the most beautiful day."
— Conor McKenna (about Laurence)
"At a time when you're most vulnerable and sad they know how to deal with everything to take the pressure off families at their most difficult time. Jim, the two Laurence's and all the other men on the day were amazing, always close by reassuring us when needed — we couldn't have done it without them."
— Sarah Fenton (about Bronagh)
"They really did make the whole experience less painful and will be forever grateful to everyone at O'Neills for giving my Mum the most beautiful wake and funeral."
— Grainne Burns (about Laurence)
"At the end of the wake period I felt that my mother had been prepared for burial by a friend, not a company. Though to call it a 'service' is somewhat of an injustice — Lawrence O'Neill and his professional team conducted the funeral in a way that was considerate and personal, enabling my family to focus on the grieving process."
— Fionntan Adams (about Lawrence O'Neill)

Everyone from O'Neills have been absolutely amazing. From we walked through the doors we were met by Bronagh who handled everything for us. At a time when your most vulnerable and sad they know how to deal with everything to take the pressure of families at there most difficult time. Jim, the two Laurence's and all the other men on the day were amazing, always close by reassuring us when needed, we couldn't have done it without them. Thanks also to Casey! Thank you to you all, such a great team of people couldn't recommend them enough. Sarah Elliott and family.

I was extremely grateful to the staff of O’Neills who supported and guided me through everything when my beloved mother passed away in November. They where extremely compassionate and professional. Laurence & the whole team couldn’t have been more helpful and supportive to my needs. They really did make the whole experience less painful and will be forever grateful to everyone at O’Neills for giving my Mum the most beautiful wake and funeral. Thank you so much.
