The Funeral Planner – Funeral Planning Services in Ireland

Pre- and post-funeral gatherings, thoughtfully planned

Complete Funeral Planning Support

At The Funeral Planner, I take care of everything surrounding the funeral—from preparing your home for a wake to planning a meaningful post-funeral gathering. This is your time to be with family, share stories, and celebrate a life well-lived, without the stress of managing the details.

Funeral directors oversee every aspect of the funeral itself, from taking your loved one into their care to arranging the ceremony, burial, or cremation. My role is to support families with the gatherings before and after—whether it’s an intimate wake at home or a larger celebration elsewhere.

I manage the planning, vendors, and on-the-day coordination so you don’t have to. Let me handle the logistics, so you can focus on what truly matters: being present with your loved ones.

Let’s create a celebration of life that honours your loved one’s memory.

What Families Are Saying

With minimal input or helpfulness from us - From venue to flowers, to additional and personal touches, Zoë sourced absolutely everything. There was zero stress on the day, we just had to show up and be present. Cannot recommend highly enough

Caoimhe

My wife and I could not have asked for a better planner. Being from the US, we put a lot of trust in Zoë because we could not be in Ireland during most of the planning. Everything turned out phenomenal and without any flaws at all. We would recommend Zoë in a heartbeat 100%!

Josh and Tanya

Zoë is without question the key to a successful day. With busy schedules she guided us and arranged with perfection every aspect of the day. The feedback we received from all of the suppliers involved with the day was that she was a pleasure to work with, professional and extremely efficient. Making a hard time easier, we would use her again over and over.

Frank

Zoë played a key part in making our celebration so perfect and memorable. She was extremely professional, dedicated and experienced but also an absolute pleasure to work with and have around on such a day. Knowing Zoë was behind the scenes making sure everything went smoothly meant we could simply relax and fully be present. I would highly recommend Zoë and would recommend every family to get a co-ordinator. This meant that I was able to completely be present every second of the day knowing Zoë had it all sorted.

Fiona

Highly recommend Zoë for all funeral planning services. When my Mother passed away unexpectedly, Zoë took the reins and planned her send off to perfection. Given her extensive background in event planning, the peace of mind provided by knowing someone competent was taking care of the few days was huge at such an emotive, overwhelming, and stressful time. She is calm and capable, organised, a good communicator, and her attention to detail is impeccable. Everything was thought of and she successfully executed our specific wishes- a home wake, funeral, cremation, and a home celebration of her life. It was respectful yet captured my Mum's personality in the flowers, music, food and atmosphere created. Zoë took care of anything needed and nothing was a problem- flowers, candles, music, speakers, framing photos, drinks and snacks for the transport, security for the home, locking up, funeral procession items, catering, and house cleaning services. Whatever we needed to ease the burden, Zoë was there and I am so thankful for that.
