Where Is Sinead O'Connor's Final Resting Place?

On Tuesday, Aug. 8, O'Connor's bereaved family and the people of Ireland came together to hold an Islamic funeral for the late singer.

CNN reported that the funeral ceremony included her cortege passing through her former hometown of Bray, south of Dublin, where she was laid to rest in a Muslim burial.

Islamic scholar and chief imam at the Islamic Centre of Ireland, Umar Al-Qadri, led the service. The "Nothing Compares 2 U" singer converted to Islam in 2018 and changed her name to Shuhada Sadaqat.

Despite the change in her religion, she kept "Sinead O'Connor" as her stage name.

"Gifted with a voice that moved a generation of young people, she could reduce listeners to tears by her otherworldly resonance," the chief imam said.

Aside from O'Connor's family, friends, and fans, Irish Taoiseach [Prime Minister] Leo Varadkar and Irish President Michael D. Higgins were present. Higgins' wife Sabrina also came with him.

The "The Emperor's New Clothes" crooner was also honored through a 30-foot tribute that was raised and unveiled in Bray, showing the words éIRE SINéAD."

Sinead O'Connor's Death

O'Connor was pronounced dead on July 26 after London's Metropolitan Police found her unresponsive in a London flat she had been renting.

The Met police revealed that her death is not suspicious, but it would reportedly take months to determine a cause of death.

"No medical cause of death was given," the report said, per Reuters. "The coroner, therefore, directed an autopsy to be conducted. The results of this may not be available for several weeks."

The remains of the "The Last Day of Our Acquaintance" singer reunited with her family after the autopsy to allow them to hold a funeral for her. Clerk of the London Inner South district for Southwark Coroners Court told The Irish Times that the autopsy was conducted to know her medical cause of death.
