A BALACLAVA, a cannabis joint along with a screwdriver and pliers were among the floral tributes at hitman Tristan Sherry's funeral.
A service took place to remember the 26-year-old on Tuesday over three weeks on from his death on Christmas Eve.
Up to 40 mourners were present as six men carried the coffin into the church St Canice’s Church in Finglas, northwest Dublin.
At the service, Sherry's pal remembered him as a "big chap with an even bigger heart."

Other floral tributes for the father-of-one included a screwdriver and pliers, a bottle of Grey Goose vodka and a motorbike, along with 'Dad', 'Nephew', ‘Big T’ and 'Tristo'.
The items were brought into the church before the service took place.
Sherry's close pal spoke at the service, as he remembered him as a loyal character.
Friend Paddy said: "Where do I start? You were more than a friend to me, you were family.
"We stood beside each other through everything, right or wrong no matter what."
He also told of the times the pair of them drove around on motorbikes.
He said: "Two or four wheels, you were a proper rallier T. There is not a car in our driveway we didn’t rally.
"You were a big chap with an even bigger heart.
"The only good thing to come from this is that you're back with your nanny and dad now who we all know meant the world to you."
Gardai, including armed officers, carried out patrols of the area while the ceremony took place.

Following the service, Sherry's remains were brought to Glasnevin Crematorium.
Sherry stormed Browne's Steakhouse on Christmas Eve and shot Jason Hennessy Snr three times in front of stunned diners last month.
The bungling guman was then disarmed, overpowered and died from injuries sustained at the scene.
His firearm, believed to be a machine pistol, went missing from the scene and remains unaccounted for.
The victim of the shooting, Mr Hennessy Snr, died 11 days afterwards in the Mater Hospital.
A similar policing operation will be in place as his family revealed his funeral will take place on Saturday at Saint Patrick church, Corduff for 11am and to Glasnevin crematorium afterwards.
