- The cemetery was laid out with just two sections, North for Catholic and South for Protestant religions as well as separate chapels for both. It also consisted of a Gate Lodge (Registrar's house) and yew trees lining the main walkways. The buildings were constructed by Matthew Gahan, whose name can be seen on the metal doors to the vaults under each chapel.
It was 1865 when the cemetery took its first burial on 28 January 1865 of Anastasia Carey, buried near the Catholic chapel. There were four grave types to be chosen by the families.
1st Class located adjacent to the main pathways and considered the most prominent and most expensive.
2nd Class located adjacent to the smaller pathways and expensive.
3rd Class surrounded by other plots where payment was required within five years. Failure to pay resulted in the grave reverting to the Burial Board for reuse.
4th Class on loan and reverted to the Burial Board for reuse after a number of years.
Since the opening of the cemetery two sections were added, South West and West, and the North section was extended. From the 1930s more land was bought and new sections were created and named after different saints bringing the total number of sections to 16.

Beautiful place. Monuments are so lovely. I love the angel statues too. 💚☘️🕊the work you put into your videos will be rewarded. 🌟 the love that people put into the graves is evident to see.
Thanks marlyin so beautiful this cemetery is
That was so beautifully done, thank you so much Irish eyes. So many stunning statues to see there. As I watch your's and Sue's visits to these cemetaries it really brings it home how many infants, children and young adults have died, also most times it's an only child of the family or all if them....heartbreaking! how did the parents cope, sadly it probably made them even stronger no doubt. Thank you and bless you 💕🇦🇺
Very sad indeed liz 😞

Just beautiful! there is nothing better than the sound of birdsong while you walk around the cemetery. The monuments are amazing can you imagine the cost of one now?!. Thank you.

A wonderful place ,want to visit from England when I can x
Hi Marie it is an amazing cemetery but I was in London last week and the cemeteries are stunning also. Thanks for watching x
It’s an amazing place….and didn’t you say 150,000 people interred since it opened ?! Gracious that’s a lot of people. I love how the trees have been so neatly trimmed so the tops are all flat….and like you, I love the Angels, and marvel at the craftsmanship of the masons over 100 years ago. The marble head of Mr Cope was so realistic, do you think they used death masks to get such a true likeness? I kept thinking he would turn his head at any minute. Must have been very well thought of for his friends to have had that erected in his memory.
I am surprised how close all the graves are placed..not an inch wasted, but makes it very difficult to get to some graves without walking on others!!
I thought too that the mortuary chapel lower down was where they placed coffins when the ground was frozen, too hard for the gravedigger to dig back then when we had very hard winters. These days they use mini diggers, no longer dug by hand , but that’s what I had thought those mortuary chapels were for. Bless you Irish Eyes…you take us to some lovely places, and it’s nice that you stop and read the inscriptions out for us. Love the little shell cross…,someone lovingly collected and cemented them all on for that lady…what devotion and love! 💕 take care! Don’t know where you had hidden Sue, but love to you both, thanks again! Helen x🙋♀️x💐👍
Thanks for watching Helen glad to hear you enjoyed the video ❤️
Still looks sad because no one is looking after it 😞 X X so sad
The orange flowers that are growing on that grave are mini Marigolds.
Horsetails is the plant growing on a couple of the graves
