My father is from Ireland. I learned to say "bury" to rhyme with "furry". Later I learned to say it to rhyme with "hairy", at least when referring to an interment. As a suffix on a place name, it is actually the furry-bury, although I've noticed that many Northern Ontarians speak of the mystical city of Sudberry (Sudbury).
