Unfortunately we found Quinns were really awful to deal with. Instead of nothing being a problem,…read moreeverything was a problem. My father died last December and I wanted to wait a while before posting this review. We were not made aware of a lot of services that were on offer. It was obviously a really difficult time but the lack of help was awful. We had to ask to get the Mass for my father filmed and streamed. We were advised by the lady that was meant to be helping us that we could contact the man directly but she made it seem like a problem. To be fair the man who did the filming was excellent, nothing a problem, totally professional, thank goodness. Everything we wanted to do was met with an air of inconvenience, yet nothing g we asked for was out of the ordinary. To list just a few, driving the hearse around the park where my father lived seemed to raise eyebrows. When we arrived at Mount Jerome, the music had not been prearranged so I had to advise the employees at Mount Jerome by checking my Spotify, a little distressing g in the middle of your father's funeral. Suffice tonsay that the experience went from bad tonworse in Mount Jerome, wrong music at wrong times. Playing music when people were at the podium trying to speak, a total carcass! That being said, we still wanted a copy of the video from the crematorium. When I contacted Quinns, of course, as they had never told us anything we were apparently too late and it had been deleted. Really awful. I asked Quinns to get an Urn. We waited months and when I eventually followed up I was told to get it myself. Terrible. We asked for the bill many times which took months to get. Then I had to chase them several times for payment details. There was many more problems bit I can safely say that some people just should not work in certain jobs. Horrendous. We will never use them again bit I don't think they will care as they seem too busy to have the time to care. My advise, stay away and use any other undertakers. Serious lack of empathy, care, consideration.

From the minute he arrived, he was so professional but warm and understanding. He is real and has great compassion. As it was Christmas and the whole country was shut down, I was really lucky to deal with Julie who was in the office all over the Christmas break. She was fantastic too - so understanding, helpful, considerate and efficient. I really couldn't have asked for a better service. Everything was done with ease and guidance. The day of the final farewell went without a hitch as a result. I can't thank them enough. I highly recommend O'Donovans to look after your funeral needs. Thanks to all of the team there. Cathy

There was a gaggle of French tourists that just appeared out of nowhere when they saw my…read morephotographing this place. Us humans are indeed descended from sheep. It was fitting that they were French tourists as their country men are buried behind the gates, about 200 plus of them. The Huguenots fled religious persecution from around the 17th century. They came to Ireland to escape death. They brought their skills of textiles, watchmaking and finance which added to the Dublin community. You cannot enter the cemetery but you can easily see the headstones through the railings, it's unique to have a graveyard near Anglo Irish Bank but quite apt at the same time.

Although I would love to sit inside among the trees there is something calming about this serene and largely untouched spot. Peering through the gates of this perpetually locked graveyard you will see a stone plaque with the names of all the families buried here. So who were the Huguenots ?? The short answer is they were French Protestants who came to Ireland as refugees. In 1685 King Louis of France expelled all of the Protestant clergy and told all Protestants that they could either convert to Catholicism or leave France. A large number of them left and traveled to all parts of the world. As they were generally speaking well education and professionals they were welcomed in most places they went especially Ireland where about 5,000 settled. They had a big impact in Ireland and many became very successful like the La Touch family who set up bank of Ireland and the ancestors of Samuel Beckett. There are a number of these little graveyards around the country and all look quite similar to this little one which dates from 1693. I love that the city has developed up around it and it seems to have stayed untouched.
