From the first phone call what Mickey provided was nothing short of exceptional. Being a very emotional and difficult time we were treated with genuine compassion, dignity and respect. We are all deeply grateful to Mickey and his team for the support, empathy, and professionalism shown throughout what was a challenging time. We would highly recommend Private Cremations to anyone seeking a highly professional, caring and trustworthy team to help say goodbye to a loved one with dignity and grace.

Private Cremation

In April 2026 my beloved brother passed away suddenly in Dublin,Ireland. My husband and I live in the US, in Colorado. I found Private Cremation online. After reading all the glowing reviews most of which mentioned a gentleman named Mickey Doyle we made the decision to have Private Cremation handle the cremation of my brother. I called Private Cremation and spoke to Mr.Doyle who could not have been nicer. His kindness and compassion were so genuine that we knew immediately we made the right decision. Mr. Doyle took care of all the details and met with my husband when he arrived in Dublin. Mr, Doyle made a very sad and stressful time for us much easier. We did not need to worry about anything and everything that was discussed was delivered. I highly recommend Private Cremation to anyone facing the passing of a loved one and need a company with the utmost integrity (especially Mr. Doyle) to handle the arrangements, he is someone you can trust.

Reassuring right from the first…

Reassuring right from the first contact. Private Cremations made the whole process so easy. My Mums day was as per her wishes. I have and can only highly recommend Private Cremations to family and friends considering Cremation after there passing. There were no we cannot always if it was able it would be done as per the wishes of the family.

Top class service

We knew the day was approaching and yet when It happened we were caught off guard by a fast approaching Bank holiday.
Well that’s where private cremations really went the extra mile for us.
Our loved one’s needs were dealt with ,with professionalism, efficiency, empathy and respect.
Mickey went above and beyond, although I think that’s just how he operates his business on a daily basis. He met with us and went through everything available and tailored the funeral to our needs.

He provided something that’s lacking nowadays- the personal touch, from the first phone call, the meeting, the service and the return of the ashes, he was personally involved to ensure it ran perfectly.
we can’t thank him and his colleagues enough.

His services are invaluable and very cost efficient.

We can’t recommend Mickey /private cremations highly enough for delivering your needs when a loved one passes.

Arrange your own cremation

I have just arranged my own and my husbands Cremations with this company. Mickey is a lovely person and so helpful. I had no problem giving him the information of exactly what we want. Our families were already aware of what we were planning (I would advise everyone to chat with their families about their wishes for when they die). I am a fit and healthy 67 year old so I reckon it will be a number of years before I pop my clogs but I have great peace knowing all is organised. It will be some time (I hope) before my family leave a follow up review. I can't recommend this company highly enough.

Supportive and professional during a difficult time

I was recommended to contact Mickey Doyle at Private Cremation during a very difficult time for my family.

Mickey was incredibly understanding and flexible with the schedule we needed, which meant a lot in such circumstances. Everything was handled with great care, professionalism, and respect.

Thank you, Mickey — your support meant a lot to our family.
