About the PEAI

What is the Professional Embalmers Association of Ireland?

A non-profit organisation based in Ireland representing professional embalmers.

Why was this association created?

Prior to the association being established there was no such organisation available for Irish embalmers. We believe that it is important to have an Irish organisation which can independently represent Irish embalmers. It is essential that our members have their own voice in Europe and internationally.

The following are the key reasons:

The need for representation at European level,
The need for promoting embalming standards,
The demand for continuous education and
The need for a support system for embalmers.

PEAI Objectives

To support the status and interests of persons professing or practising embalming.
To establish a uniform standard of training and embalming qualification.
To organise and promote continuous training relevant to embalming.
To liaise and maintain contact with other embalming organisations.
