An Irish fashion designer who was found dead on a boat in New York lived 'a short life, but a packed life', her funeral was told.
Martha Nolan-O'Slatarra, 33, who was originally from Carlow but lived in Manhattan, was discovered unconscious on a vessel at Montauk Yacht Club in the early hours of August 5.
She was pronounced dead at the scene and the cause of her death is yet to be confirmed.
Mourners gathered 'from so many parts to be here to support Martha's family', the priest told the congregation.
Among the symbols brought forward to represent Martha's life was her passport, her brand East x East, a makeup bag and brushes, the Irish and U.S. flags, and a tin whistle to symbolise her love of musical instruments.
