While the whole of Ireland and the international community are multiplying tributes to the Irish singer who left too soon, the family has just announced the date of her funeral. Sinéad O’Connor’s funeral will be held this Tuesday, August 8, 2023 in Bray, County Wicklow. Fans will be able to pay their last respects during the funeral procession through the city. As for the funeral, it will take place away from the public eye, in a private ceremony.
Sinéad O’Connor’s family have announced in a press release that she will be buried in Bray, Ireland, where she spent more than 15 years of her life. For this, the funeral procession will pass through the town of Bray, along the Irish town’s waterfront, passing the house where she lived (at Montobello, Strand Road, Bray, Co. Wicklow).
The procession will be followed by a private burial.
Members of the public wishing to pay tribute to O’Connor are asked to gather from 10.30am on Tuesday. Local police are already expecting large crowds.
The itinerary will begin at the Harbour Bar end of Strand Road and continue along the waterfront to the other end of Strand Road where Sinéad and her family will then continue to a private burial,” said the O’Connor family.
Her family insisted in the press release that Sinéad O’Connor was particularly attached to Ireland and the town of Bray. For her, it was a refuge, a place to which she was deeply attached.
Sinéad loved living in Bray and the people there. With this procession, her family would like to acknowledge the outpouring of love for her from the people of County Wicklow. […]
Ireland is in turmoil following the announcement of the singer’s death on Wednesday July 26, 2023. For the time being, the cause of death remains unknown, and the British authorities are expected to deliver their conclusions within the next few weeks. In any case, the cause of death does not seem suspicious.
Since the announcement of his death, the world has paid tribute to the artist, recognizing his talent, courage and personal struggles.
As a reminder, Sinéad O’Connor has always created controversy for her outspoken stances, fearlessly attacking the church, the pope and the patriarchy. Now considered to be ahead of her time, she had experienced a veritable crossing of the desert for her activism and inability to fit into the star-system mold.
No doubt the crowds will be out in force on Tuesday to pay their last respects.
