Rip Limerick: March 6–7 Services Mark Cluster of Death Notices
rip limerick: three death notices published in early March set out funerals and Requiem Mass arrangements for residents of Limerick with services and reposing times spanning March 6–13. The notices name the deceased, their immediate family, locations for reposing and the churches and cemeteries where services will take place.
What Happens When Rip Limerick Notices Outline March Services?
The notices provide clear timetables and locations for family and community observance. Key facts from the published notices:
- John Leddin (Parkview, Hyde Road; formerly of Lansdowne Park, Ennis Road) died unexpectedly at his residence on March 2, 2026. He is predeceased by his parents Jim and Evelyn. Reposing at Thompson’s Funeral Home, Thomas Street, on Friday, March 6 from 4: 30pm to 6: 00pm.

What If Funeral Arrangements Aggregate Across Limerick?
When multiple notices list services in close succession, practical implications follow for families, parishes and funeral homes. The notices identify local funeral homes and churches handling reposing and masses: Thompson’s Funeral Home and Whites Funeral Home for reposing; Our Lady of the Rosary Church, St. Patrick’s Church and St Joseph’s Church for Requiem Masses; Mount St. Oliver Cemetery and Doon cemetery for burials. University Hospital Limerick is named as the place of death in two notices, and one notice extends thanks to hospital staff for their care. Several services will be live-streamed to allow wider participation.
What Should Families and Communities Expect Next?
These notices set out the practical steps families have taken: public reposing times, scheduled Requiem Masses, burial locations and live-stream options. Community members planning to attend should follow the times and venues listed for each family. Notices also record predeceased relatives and the extended family members who survive the deceased, providing the community with the names of next of kin and particular requests (for example, a request for family flowers only in one notice and a named donations recipient in another).
The notices published for Limerick underline the ways local parishes, funeral homes and hospital services interact when arranging final services; they also show a continuing practice of offering live streams for those unable to attend in person. For readers seeking specifics, the notices list reposing times, service times and burial sites so that family, friends and the wider community can plan attendance and send condolences.
