Work is due to begin on the first-ever crematorium in Co Kildare. 

Wellbrook Funeral Services was granted planning permission in 2022 by Kildare Co Council to erect the facility at Derrymullen.

Also in the designs is an access road from the existing Wellbrook Embalming Centre and Chapel of Rest.

Extensive landscaping including areas of wildflowers is also part of the development.
