About Us

At Johnston Funeral Directors, we are proud to have supported families in Kilkenny and the surrounding areas for generations. As a family-run business, we understand the importance of personal care, dignity, and respect at every stage of the funeral process.

We are committed to providing professional guidance to families during their time of loss. Whether arranging a traditional funeral, a private gathering, or planning ahead, we are here to offer gentle support and practical assistance every step of the way.

Our purpose-built Funeral Home at John’s Green was opened in 2001 to provide a peaceful, comfortable environment for families to come together and honour their loved ones. Nearby, our offices and showroom at 7 The Arches, Barrack Street, offer a welcoming space to make arrangements in private and view our range of coffins and caskets, including eco-friendly options.

Every funeral is unique, and we work closely with each family to ensure that their wishes are carried out with care and attention to detail. We also continue to support families after the funeral has taken place, offering guidance to help them navigate the practical matters that arise in the days and weeks following a loss.

At Johnston Funeral Directors, you will find experienced hands, a compassionate heart, and a genuine commitment to helping you through one of life’s most difficult times.
