In the early eighties with Cork City expanding, Jerh O'Connors funeral homes Cork opened the first custom built funeral home in the country on Sarsfield Road in the western suburbs, following on from there the company opened its next funeral home in Temple Hill, Boreenmanna Road.

At the turn of the 21st century Mr. Tom Barry of the Barry Family, a well known and respected family in Glanmire, decided he would like to retire from business and we were delighted that he chose us to continue serving the families of Glanmire that availed of his funeral service in their time of need.
