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.
