Family members who decide on a burial can buy a new grave or they may wish to reopen an existing family grave. If you are unsure if there is an existing grave we can check this for you in our archives. Thompson's Undertakers have a long standing relationship with all the city and counties cemetery’s representatives.

There are a number of cemeteries in Limerick city and county to chose from.

Thompson's Funeral Directors also deal with the exhumation of the remains. It is only in strict circumstances that exhumation occurs in Ireland. At all times during the process, due regard for respect to the deceased person and privacy for the family and friends of the deceased person is protected. The need for an exhumation may arise in the following situations

• When a court orders an exhumation as part of a criminal investigation
• For public health reasons (e.g. if a graveyard or cemetery is being moved)
• For family reasons (if the family of the deceased person requests that the remains be moved to another burial ground, another part of the country, abroad, etc.).

Should you have any enquiry regarding an exisiting plot or wish to purchase a new one please call us on 061 414967 and we would be happy to arrange this for you.
