A recent survey carried out by RIP.ie has discovered that the average Irish person attends five funerals a year. Out of those figures, it has been discovered that Kerry people go to the most.

The report also suggests that 90% of respondents believe every family should have the right to deliver a eulogy at the funeral mass of a family member.

We want to know, why do people from the countryside go to more funerals than Dublin people? How often do you go to funerals?

Joining Andrea to discuss is Graham Gleasure from The Gleasure Funeral Home in Tralee, Bríd McGowan Funeral Director and Embalmer in Sligo, Ocean FM Presenter Claire Ronan, Newstalk’s Josh Crosbie and Content Creator, Padraig Wilson McCarthy.
