Your trusted, family-owned, award-winning funeral directors serving Co. Antrim and South Derry. We’re committed to delivering heartfelt, professional care and leading the way in exceptional funeral services.
At WJ O’Donnell & Sons, we are a family-run team, rooted in our parishes and local community. We know that behind every funeral is not just an arrangement to be made, but a family walking through grief — because we’ve been there too. Our team is made up of people who, like you, have faced the loss of someone dearly loved. We understand, not only in a professional sense, but in a very human one, how heavy that journey feels. That’s why we promise to walk beside you with gentleness, patience, and respect. Being “more than just Funeral Directors” means: We listen with empathy — your wishes, your traditions, and your memories guide us. We carry the details — so you can focus on what matters most: being together as a family. We honour both tradition and individuality — creating services that feel authentic and true. We serve as family for families — with the same care and dignity we would want for our own loved ones. We are not here simply to provide a service. We are here to share the weight of sorrow, to create moments of meaning, and to help you find comfort in knowing your loved one has been cared for with compassion. Because before we were Funeral Directors, we were — and still are — people who love, people who grieve, and people who understand.
