Cremation Services in Kilkenny
Families choosing cremation have flexibility in how and where the funeral and committal services take place.
A traditional funeral service can be held in the family’s chosen church, after which the committal service can take place either at Johnston’s Funeral Home in John’s Green or at the crematorium.
Families can also choose to hold the complete cremation service at Johnston’s Funeral Home. Following the service, the deceased is brought to the crematorium for cremation, without the need for family and friends to travel to the crematorium.
Our recently refurbished Funeral Home provides a private and comfortable setting for family and friends to gather. Johnston Funeral Directors can guide families through the different options and take care of the arrangements with the crematorium.

Our Offices and Showroom are located at 7 The Arches, Barrack Street, very close to the Funeral Home. These provide a space where a wide range of coffins, including eco, and caskets can be viewed and all arrangements can be made in peaceful and comfortable surroundings.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cremation in Kilkenny
Can I arrange a cremation funeral in Kilkenny?
Yes. We can arrange a cremation funeral and guide you through the options for the funeral service, committal and cremation.

Yes. A traditional funeral service can take place in your chosen church. Afterwards, the committal service can be held either at Johnston’s Funeral Home or at the crematorium.
Do family and friends have to travel to the crematorium?
No. If preferred, the committal service can take place locally at the Funeral Home. The deceased is then brought to the crematorium for cremation.

What is the difference between a cremation service and the cremation itself?
The funeral or committal service is the ceremony where family and friends gather to say goodbye. The cremation itself takes place afterwards at the crematorium, so the service does not have to take place there.
Can you arrange everything with the crematorium?
Yes. Johnston Funeral Directors can take care of the necessary arrangements and liaise with the crematorium on the family’s behalf.
