J. Hannon & Sons

J. Hannon & Sons is one of the longest established funeral directors in Ireland, founded in 1852 by John Hannon in Co. Cork. Since then, for over 170 years, four generations of Hannons have been offering flexible, personal and knowledgeable funeral services, tailored to the individual needs of local families. 

The ambition for the new identity and website was to combine tradition and modernity while communicating care, respect, attention to detail, and professionalism that are central to this independent, family run business.

With a strong typographic wordmark, reminiscent of shop signage, it puts pride in the name above the door. The est. 1852 stamp offers a nod to the family’s long standing service. The stationery and website are quietly confident, clear and calm with a muted colour palette, considered typography and serene photography.
