To the Faithful Departed (TTFD) is an album released by The Cranberries in 1996. This album was made in memory of Danny Cordell (a friend of the band) and Joe (vocalist Dolores O'Riordan's grandfather), who had both died that year. All lyrics by Dolores O'Riordan, and all music by O'Riordan except tracks 2, 8, 9, and 12, by O'Riordan and Noel Hogan. The album was re-released in 2002 with bonus tracks. One of these, "Ave Maria," a duet with Luciano Pavarotti, reached the fourth position on the Billboard 200 chart.

This was a much darker album, with more guitars than its predecessors.

It went 4 times platinum Taiwan, 3 times platinum in Canada and New Zealand, and 2 times platinum in Austria, France, Hong Kong, Malaysia and USA. It has sold over 6 million copies to date. It produced the hit singles: "Salvation", "Free to Decide" and "When You're Gone".
