The 11th Baron Carbery of Co Cork will be laid to rest in the family crypt at Castlefreke Chapel following his funeral ceremony today.
Lord Peter Ralfe Harrington Evans-Freke (92) died in Twickenham, London, last Thursday following an illness.
Some 25 members spanning three generations of the Evans-Freke family have returned to their ancestral home at Rathbarry Castle from China, the US, Spain and England for the ceremony, a full sung Tridentine Latin Mass.
Monks from Glenstal Abbey and Downside Abbey in the UK will officiate at today’s funeral Mass at Rathbarry Church.
The baron will be entombed next to his late wife, Lady Joyzelle Carbery, who died in 2006, when the family mausoleum was used for the first time since 1852.
