Glen Hansard’s Family Shares Memorial and Funeral Arrangements

Glen Hansard’s family has shared further details on how loved ones and the public can come together to remember the acclaimed musician. The arrangements provide an opportunity for fans, friends and the wider community to pay tribute – and celebrate his life and legacy. The announcement includes information on the planned services and how supporters can show their respects.

According to the statement from Glen Hansard’s family that was issued via ATC management, a public wake will take place in the Baroque Chapel at IMMA, Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Dublin 8 on Monday 3rd August between 11am and 4pm. Glen will lie in repose for those wishing to pay their respects.

Glen’s funeral will take place at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, St. Patrick’s Close, Dublin 8 on Tuesday 4th August at 1:30pm. The funeral will be open to the public, however access inside the Cathedral will be extremely limited given the numbers expected.

There will be a public address system in place outside the cathedral, however mourners are also encouraged to view online where the funeral will be streamed on RTE News and RIP.IE

Music at the funeral will be provided by Glen’s friends and family.

In lieu of flowers or gifts, the family has asked that donations be made to:

The family kindly asks that the privacy of Glen’s family and friends be respected at this time.
