Power's Funeral Directors
A Legacy of Compassion
Established in Ferrybank in 1886, Power’s Funeral Directors has a long and distinguished history. The roots of this family-run funeral home in Waterford extend even further, to the 1840s, through the O’Neill family of Sally Park. For over a century, we have provided dedicated and professional funeral services, supporting families in Waterford and Kilkenny.
The business grew from the union of Catherine (Katie) O’Neill and Tom Power in 1896. Passed down through generations, it has remained a cornerstone of the community. Each era brought new leadership, from Martin and Mary Power in the 1940s to Tom and Margaret in the 1970s. In 1983, they opened a state-of-the-art funeral home in Abbeylands. Today, Martin Power and his wife Claire continue the family tradition, ensuring every service is handled with care and respect.
