Mcclafferty Funeral Directors Description
McClafferty Funeral Directors are one of Derry's oldest funeral directors with over a hundred years' experience in providing funeral services.
The funeral directors was established in 1904 and run by John L. McClafferty and his family until 1974 when it was sold to Mr. Jack McKeone; ownership passed to Mr. Johnny Casey in 1987 and he remains the proprietor today.
Mc Claffertys have handled arrangements for some of the biggest and most high profile funeral services the city has seen, including that of 12 people killed in the Blitz Disaster at Messines Park in the 1940s.
They also arranged the funerals of most of the 14 men killed on Bloody Sunday on 30th January 1972.
During the war, when bodies were not permitted to travel to Glasgow for cremation, special arrangement had to be made for members of the Indian community to be cremated here.
Over the years Mc Claffertys have taken care of arrangements for many nuns from the city. The Constitution of the Poor Sisters of Nazareth decreed Sisters were to be buried in elm wood coffins, unpolished with tin mounts to echo the spirit of poverty of religious life. Mc Claffertys produced such coffins and were themselves commissioned to do the funerals of the nuns from the Sisters of Nazareth Convent.
The Good Shepherd Convent have also used the service of Mc Claffertys.
Mr. Casey still carries on the family tradition with his three sons Jason, Darren and Gerard.
