Aww i love you both so much!!!! The Craic is 90, just brilliant. Eammonn my Mum was the same as your wee Mum and when you left the family Home family home she would bless us with holy water 💦. She passed 12 years ago and I miss her every single day! !!!! I go to her and my Father grave and talk to them both. Hard to beat Our Irish Funerals. Want you to know that I’m praying for your health. Blessings from Ireland 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️🇮🇪
I remember that so well. When someone in the street died, the curtains were closed. Someone would come round the doors with a hat type thing and all the people would give what they could afford for the bereaved family. #letsstarttalking
OMG! I'm not odd then! I hate to see a 'lonely' funeral. Sadly I lost my daughter in 2005 and felt that I didn't do what I would have done had I not been lost in grief. As it happened, it was a nice 'send off' and a full requiem for her. I don't recall what people wore, I can hardly remember anything about it, but had I been 'conducting' it in my right mind, I'd have had exactly as Eamonn wants for himself. I want the same for me when it's my time but I want cremating after the Requiem and my ashes and my daughters mixed together.
Yes the English are so different in a lot of ways & especially funerals .. yes it’s lovely to go to a friend’s parents funeral for example as it so helps when your friend shows up it feels like they’re supporting you through a time of loss . Being from the other side of the community in NI we don’t do the laid out in the parlour thing .... I’m not a fan of getting used to thinking of the corpse as your last memory of your loved one .. so our family keep the coffin closed .. we believe when you die your soul goes immediately to Heaven to meet with Jesus our Savior & all your known saints (saved Family & Friends) that have gone before us .. I believe our loved one is celebrating being in Heaven meeting everyone and those that are mourning massively benefit from meeting & chatting to family & friends dropping in over a 2 day period prior the funeral .. Of course there are those who want to keep their house private as some opportunists see it as entry for free drinks & food ! Strangers can literally just turn up🤔 not seen this personally, thankfully, but heard about it happening .. A Christian Funeral is usually a celebration of the persons life knowing you’re going to see them again in Heaven.. A humanist non Christian service can be very tearful as they believe it’s over when the person dies.. & grief tends to goes on for a much longer period ..
I saw Eamonn at a Van Morrison concert in Belfast a few years back now.The room was packed.When he stood up he stood out from any other man in the room. This i noticed before i realised who he was.Eamonn is a very attractive man in reality. I shall be dead and buried before anyone outside my children and a few important people will know. If you didn't come to see me confined to bed mostly 28yrs you are not coming to see me dead.My prerogative. Tough.
Question which is not asked to challenge but to understand. Why is Emmon Homles disliked so much. Someone mentioned him at work and not one person had anything nice or positive about him in the slightest. I just wondered why as i know very little about him.
Eamonn years ago over there people would pull there curtains in the street you live and now people lay in the Chapel here or go to church the night before when I lost my Husband a few years ago I had him home for the night ❤❤ want with me in his home for the last night .

Well Eamonn as you described the death situation your wonderful sense of humour is a delight. Yes i well understand. Thanks.
Love this conversation and can identify with so much of it.
Love Eamonn,👍💚
Awww I want to have a wake in my bungalow when I go ☘💚
Eamonn you are a star - just love you!
lovely conversation

I think Eamonn quite enjoyed planning his funeral! I agree, leaving your wishes makes it easier
Eamon is a great man love him☘🇮🇪
Brilliant and very accurately described. The irish really are professionals about death. We could write many books about it.
Sort of enjoyed this conversation . However I don’t want a funeral just thrown in the fire and forgotten about , no one will be bothered .
Hurry up Eamonn and come back to Ireland. ❤
EAMON. Great. Man. Down to earth. Too. Goes. To all. Funerals. Cand wakes. Thats. What. We do in ireland, colleen. Not. Listening. Well to. Him
I really enjoyed those interviews, so informative too. I only began watching it because I saw Coleen on the thumbnail.
The last taboo. I was at a cousins funeral in Mayo recently. We Irish know how to do these events. Death is part of life.
Good man Eamon wanting traditional so do I ☘🇮🇪

That outfit is gorgeous Coleen.
We are of that age where the deceased friends and their families attended the funeral..

It’s Alan Partridge during his Toblerone period.

Professional whinger, and more faces than a room full of clocks, amongst other things which I won't go Into...
oh go on, do......
