John Michael’s grandfather Mark Foley started the business in 1960, which his father John carried on until 2017 when he handed over the management of the business to John Michael.
John Michael, together with his father John, wife Denise, four children and experienced team of staff are all very proud of their new expansion.
With over 25 years experience in the funeral business including hearse hire and funeral director cover to other funeral directors, collection and transportation of deceased and a trade embalming service for other funeral directors, John Michael is highly qualified to manage this new expansion.
With the current team of staff, they can manage all aspects of the business with ease, while providing a professional and efficient service to both customers and funeral directors alike.
After building a new modern embalming room
and coffin showroom in 2017, John Michael and his team refurbished and modernised their Funeral home in Timoleague in 2018 and opened his funeral home in Clonakilty in 2019.
While 2020 brought its own challenges with the current covid 19 pandemic, John Michael remains optimistic that he will make a success of their new venture and admits that private funerals in 2020 did not give him much opportunity to ‘show off’ his modern funeral home to the public. This however did not stop the investment in the business as they recently bought a new Mercedes estate fitted with CPL deck to add to their existing Mercedes fleet. 2020 was a difficult year for all Funeral Directors but particularly difficult on bereaved families and hopefully we will see an end to this pandemic in the near future. Stay Safe!! The new funeral home in Clonakilty
