We are
Irish Hospice Foundation
Every death matters and we only have one chance to get it right. We are working to ensure the best end-of-life and bereavement care, for all. From advocacy and education, to our vital services like Nurses for Night Care and our Bereavement Support Line, we believe in the importance of dying well and grieving well wherever the place.
How we are Making a Difference
Bereavement Support Line
Our free Bereavement Support Line, in partnership with the HSE, is there if you're grieving and need comfort, connection and support right now.
Think Ahead
Our popular planning ahead tool can help you discuss and record your wishes and preferences in the event of an emergency, serious illness or after you have died.
Nurses for Night Care
We fund the Nurses for Night Care service for people dying with illnesses other than cancer, so they can receive expert nursing care and support at night in their own homes in their final days.
We are helping Local Authorities inform and support our bereaved communities and individuals. At IHF we know dying, death and bereavement and we can help you build a supporting model for your local community
