History
Established in 1887.
O’Connor Bros. was established in Blarney Street, Cork by Thomas F. O’Connor.
(In 2012 we marked 125 Years serving the people of Cork)
The company moved their offices to 70 Shandon Street after the company was passed to John Francis and Thomas Finbarr O’Connor, (sons of the founder) and then subsequently to North Gate Bridge (where we are still located), under the ownership of T. Val O’Connor, (grandson of the founder).
J.Finbarr O’Connor, (Val’s son) and Laura Humphries (née O’Connor) (Val’s Daughter) are the fourth generation of the family to work in the company.
O’Connor Bros. opened the FIRST funeral home in Ireland in 1967.
Terence O’Connor of Shandon Street joined us at North Gate Bridge in 2004
Other funeral businesses such as Frederick Bogan of Merchants Quay, R. Cronin & Sons of Sullivans Quay and Desmonds of Conways Yard have merged with O’Connor Bros. Funeral Homes Ltd. over the years.
