A joint funeral will be held today for the much-loved mother and daughter who were killed in a road crash in Carndonagh.
Natalie McLaughlin, aged in her 20s, and her 6-year-old daughter Ella tragically died in the collision between a car and a van which happened on Tuesday evening in the Glentogher area.
They will both be laid to rest at the Church of the Sacred Heart in Carndonagh this Monday afternoon.
Funeral Mass will take place at 12noon, followed by interment in the adjoining cemetery.
The Funeral Cortège will leave the family home this morning at 11.20am, travelling from Church Road up through Bridge Street and entering the Sacred Heart Church, Carndonagh (between the Diamond Cafe and the Mason’s).
Everyone is invited to stand out and form a guard of honour as Ella and Natalie make their final journey.
