Preserving Ireland’s Traditions Of Farewell In The Digital Age

In Ireland, where rituals of farewell are steeped in community and compassion, even the smallest tokens, a mass card, a handwritten condolence, a name in the funeral book, carry the quiet weight of remembrance. After losing a loved one, Paula McGarry discovered how comforting it can be to revisit these keepsakes and the memories they carry. That experience inspired her to create Remembered with Love, Ireland’s first service dedicated to preserving funeral memorabilia as Digital Memorial Books. To tell us more, Paula was in studio on Friday's Morning Focus with Alan Morrissey.
