The body of Tara Whelan, killed in an explosion in the resort of Kusadasi, Turkey on Saturday, will lie in repose in her family home in Co Waterford today.
Teenager Tara Whelan who died in the Turkish bomb
Her funeral is to take place tomorrow afternoon.
The release of the teenager's remains had been delayed by the need for a postmortem, which was carried out yesterday at Cork University Hospital.
The body was then taken under Garda escort to the Whelan residence, near the village of Kilmeaden, where Ballyduff parish priest Fr Michael O'Byrne led prayers.
An adjoining field was opened to provide parking for the mourners who called to the house during the evening.
Fr O'Byrne said the family were still "very, very traumatised" at Tara's death, "but they're glad that at least the remains are home".
Representatives of the President, the Taoiseach, and the Turkish embassy are expected to attend tomorrow's funeral mass.
