'My Farewell Wishes' was co-founded by undertaker Colm Kieran last year as demand grows for funeral pre-planning services. People can secure a record of their wishes for a cost of €65 and are granted their own official copy.

Colm explained that a gap in the market post Brexit left the service feasible. He argued that people should have the same say over their funerals as they would for other milestone occasions, such as weddings and family events.
