Louth couple Marie and Jim Quigley have been laid to rest.
In Monday, the body of 68-year-old Marie Quigley was discovered at the couple's home, not long after her 69-year-old husband Jim died in a collision on the M1 - where he had been driving in the wrong direction.
A murder investigation into Mrs Quigley's death is still ongoing, as is a separate inquiry into the fatal collision.
The couple's son-in-law Jeff paid tribute to the family during mass at St. Joseph's Redemptorist Church.
"Jim's illness, which he battled for a number of years, deteriorated from a physical illness to a mental illness," he told the assembled mourners.
"Having, as a family, got through everything together, this was one battle we just couldn't win … [but] we will see you again."
Chief Celebrant at today's funeral mass at St. Joseph's Redemptorist Church Father Tom Hogan, praised their immediate family:
"I never came across, in all my priesthood, an expression of unconditional love of God that I found in this family," he said.
The couple were buried in Dundalk.
