Welcome to Charles Rourke & Sons

Funeral Directors, Downpatrick, Northern Ireland.

We are an independent family Funeral Director business which for almost 40 years has served our community in Downpatrick, Northern Ireland, and the surrounding areas (see About us).

As a member of the Irish Association of Funeral Directors, we operate a 24-hour call out service, 365 days a year. We are committed to providing a highly professional and caring service.

Church funeral services

We invite you to take this opportunity to view the various aspects of our service and facilities, which are outlined briefly on the following pages.

Our traditionally designed Funeral Church provides a dignified setting for funeral services, while the adjoining rest rooms allow grieving family and loved ones to meet in private.

Coffins, cremation urns & memorials

Coffins or Cremation Urns can be selected in our special display room - or may be specially ordered.

Graveyard memorials (headstones) are available in a wide range of designs.

Arrangements

Our services also include advance funeral planning (pre-plans), arranging floral tributes, order of service printing, newspaper insertions, etc.

Advance funeral planning

Increasingly, people are making advance funeral arrangements - which demonstrates thoughtfulness towards family and friends by removing the cost and the stress of later arrangements.

We also provide a wedding car hire service.
