St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church in Cappoquin, constructed around 1825, presents a notable example of architectural heritage with its cruciform plan and double-height structure. Renovated and expanded in 1975, it features modern entrance bays and porches, while maintaining the historical character through its slate roofs, stone copings, and original bellcote. Its walls, adorned with stained glass lancet windows and timber tracery, contribute to its spiritual and aesthetic ambiance. The church’s interior is richly detailed with timber galleries, coffered ceilings, and an Ionic reredos in the chancel. Positioned in a well-appointed setting, St. Mary’s accommodates a historical graveyard with Celtic Cross-style markers and is set back from the road, enhancing its presence in the community. This church, just 54 minutes from our funeral home, offers a dignified and tranquil environment for memorial services.
