Ms Faulkner died after sustaining serious head injuries in an assault last month.<\/p>\n
A horse-drawn carriage, carrying the casket of the 29-year-old, led the funeral cortege to St Munchin’s Church, opposite the Treaty Stone.<\/p>\n
The aisle of the church was lined with cherry blossom trees and some mourners dressed in pink in honour of the Limerick woman.<\/p>\n

Canon D\u00f3nal McNamara celebrated the funeral mass of Ms Faulkner, who was remembered as “a young mother, a daughter, a lady whose life was intertwined with love, responsibility and hope”.<\/p>\n
He said her greatest gift is her daughter Oceanna.<\/p>\n
“The love she gave, the care she showed, the moments she lived as a mother, these are not wiped out. They remain now held safely in God,” Canon McNamara said.<\/p>\n
He said those gathered to mourn the tragic death of Ms Faulkner “face something very difficult but never the less essential and that is the call to forgiveness”.<\/p>\n
\n
He said that does not mean ignoring what has happened and it does not mean denying pain or excusing wrongdoing.<\/p>\n
“Forgiveness is a journey, often long and difficult, but never the less it is a path that leads away from being consumed by anger and towards the freedom that God desires for each of us,” he said.<\/p>\n
\n
During the eulogy, her sister Victoria Faulkner thanked people for the love and support shown to Scarlett.<\/p>\n
She said: “I’ll cherish every memory we ever shared together. You were a character. You always made us laugh no matter what mood we might have been in.<\/p>\n
“You made our bad days better. We will miss your beautiful smile and loving personality.<\/p>\n
“You had a heart like no other. The love you showed us, we will never forget.”<\/p>\n
She said her family hope to get justice following Scarlett’s death.<\/p>\n
Scarlett Faulkner will be laid to rest in Ballycannon cemetery in Meelick this afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scarlett Faulkner was remembered at her funeral mass today as “a young mother, a daughter, a lady whose…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":403399,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[61,60,43],"class_list":["post-403398","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403398","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=403398"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403398\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/403399"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=403398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=403398"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=403398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
