Irish Association of Funeral Directors (IAFD) – Supporting Standards in Funeral Care

Irish Association of Funeral Directors (IAFD)

The Irish Association of Funeral Directors (IAFD) was established in 1979 to promote excellence in funeral directing and foster cooperation among its members. Today, IAFD members conduct approximately 80% of funerals across the island of Ireland.

The Association is regularly consulted by government bodies, local authorities, media, interest groups and the public on matters relating to funerals and bereavement.

Commitment to Quality Standards

All IAFD members must adhere to a Code of Practice and the IAFD Quality Standard, which is aligned with the European Standard for Funeral Services. Members are independently audited to ensure compliance.

When choosing a funeral director, RIP.ie recommends selecting an IAFD member in your area to ensure professional, compassionate service.
