IAFD in the News

Our Public Relation Officer, Mary Cunniffe took part in an interview with Claire Byrne on her Today show. The subject of the interview was - How to plan your own funeral.

Mary said “I have been championing pre-arranged funerals for over twenty years. I have seen the emotional strain it places on families when they are uncertain of Mary Cunniffe the wishes of their loved one, they are unsure what is the right thing to do. It’s so important to have these discussions, at a certain point in life people worry about their end-of-life arrangements so it is vital to be open to the conversation if they want to talk about it.”
