Ireland's grandest cemetery | Man shouts at funeral | Glasnevin Part 1

- Prior to the establishment of Glasnevin Cemetery, Irish Catholics had no cemeteries of their own in which to bury their dead and, as the repressive Penal Laws of the eighteenth century placed heavy restrictions on the public performance of Catholic services, it had become normal practice for Catholics to conduct a limited version of their own funeral services in Protestant churchyards or graveyards. This situation continued until an incident at a funeral held at St. Kevin's Churchyard in 1823 provoked public outcry when a Protestant sexton reprimanded a Catholic priest for proceeding to perform a limited version of a funeral mass. The outcry prompted Daniel O'Connell, champion of Catholic rights, to launch a campaign and prepare a legal opinion proving that there was actually no law passed forbidding praying for a dead Catholic in a graveyard. O'Connell pushed for the opening of a burial ground in which both Irish Catholics and Protestants could give their dead dignified burial.
Glasnevin Cemetery was consecrated and opened to the public for the first time on 21 February 1832. The first burial, that of eleven-year-old Michael Carey from Francis Street in Dublin, took place on the following day in a section of the cemetery known as Curran's Square. The cemetery was initially known as Prospect Cemetery, a name chosen from the townland of Prospect, which surrounded the cemetery lands. Besides the famous interred at Glasnevin, nearly 800,000 people have been buried in Glasnevin in unmarked mass graves due to the death toll from the Great Famine of the 1840s and a later cholera epidemic.
Originally covering nine acres of ground, the area of the cemetery has now grown to approximately 124 acres. This includes its expansion on the southern side of the Finglas Road with the section called St. Paul's. The option of cremation has been provided since March 1982.
O'Connell Tower in Dublin was built in 1855 to commemorate the Irish nationalist leader, Daniel O'Connell.
He led the campaign to end religious discrimination against Catholics, who had few rights in early 19th Century Ireland.
The tower shut in 1971 when it was damaged by a loyalist bomb but recently it has undergone extensive renovations.
The monument stands at 55m (180ft) in Glasnevin Cemetery in north County Dublin, where it commands "breathtaking" 360 degree views of the city and neighbouring counties.

My Parents and other relatives and my childhood neighbors are interred in this cemetery. It's well worth a visit and is said to be one of the most haunted in the world. I've never experienced any spooks on any of my hundreds of visits. The history of this place is extraordinary. There are towers set into the perimeter walls with arrow ports, during the cemetery's early history, there were men stationed in or on top of the towers. Their purpose was to defend the cemetery from grave robbers, or body snatchers as some referred to them as. The more recent sad story attached to the cemetery was the well known tour guide that knew absolutely everything about the history of the cemetery. One day he didn't turn up for work. They looked back at the CCTV cameras and were shocked to see him enter the cemetery in the darkened early hours carrying a rope. He waved at the cameras as he entered. During a search they found his body. It's sad that when people suffer a mental illness such as depression, which I assume he suffered from, that they feel that the only way to end their pain is to check out. May he R.I.P. There are videos of him on TH-cam doing his tour guide routine.
Grew up not far from there, we played there as kids, most of my family going back to 1895 are buried there, the latest was my lovely mother last Christmas, thank you for your respectful video.
What a well kept cemetery, puts some of ours to shame in the UK.
They charge an entry fee in the UK
Thankyou for sharing, there is some magnificent headstones .
William Dargan was an Irish Engineer and built Irelands first railway between Dublin and Dún Laoghaire in 1833
Gosh if there’s ever a place where political & religious differences don’t matter it’s a cemetery 🙏
@sandyduncan2927. It’s quite normal here in Northern Ireland that catholics and Protestants are buried in different parts of the cemetery. One in Belfast has a wall separating them that as far as I remember goes right down eight foot. It’s crazy
@@janetwhitten3945 Thanks for explaining that to me Janet. I’m sorry I didn’t realize. Here in Canada it may be similar but I’ve never seen it. I have more family in cemeteries than I do on dry land but I’ve never seen a division. Here to hoping all the buried are at peace. Thanks again
@@sandyduncan2927 no problem. It’s so sad that the conflict here divides people even in death.
Unless you are in Ireland. Cemeteries are still a contentious place. Irish governments that are majority if not all Catholic lead have built upon Protestant Cemeteries for a park, social housing, and for a sport pitch. These are all in Dublin. Disrespecting the dead to white wash away Protestant history on the Island. This is why there is little trust that Cemeteries are sacred places in Ireland.
@@kscptv very interesting story, I shall research.
Wow the architecture is stunning on the crypts lovely day for a cemetery walk
I grew up in a small town where Lizzy Borden's Irish maid is buried , the first Mayor of New York and Pilgrims of the May Flower are laid to rest..
Never seen so many beautiful statues in a cemetery. It’s beautiful
Some wonderful memorials there . Thank you 👍
Such amazing places!! I would have loved to visited Scotland and Ireland! So much history!! Thanks for sharing!!🇺🇸🙏❤
Great tour thankyou. @10.20 i had to chuckle. Beautiful sculptures... i would love to see them all cleaned❤
Some of my family are interred in there, thank you for the tour. 👍🏴🏴🏴🏴👍
Church is, house is open at specific times of the year
There’s a rhyme:
Mathew, mark, Luke and John
Bless the bed that I lie on,
2 Angels at my head and 2angels at my feet,
They will watch me while I sleep.
I like it
This place is incredible and the weather so perfect. I love this kind of weather misery loves company? I could listen to you say murder over and over such a wonderful accent. Well done on this one stunning❣️
Thanks Tracie, murder murder murder lol x
That s my favourite cemetery of all you visited. Beautiful!
I was born in Dublin but only ever went into that grave yard once must go again as some family of old would like a visit.
Wonderful video. Thank you! Would love to visit Glasnevin one day. A while ago I watched a lovely documentary about Glasnevin, it's called "One Million Dubliners". I can highly recommend it.
this is why i like videos like these find them seriously interesting dont care if i watch em when i go to bed or when im bored so long as i have something to watch of interest im sorted
Check out the cemetery under a church in CO. Wexford. ...an Order of Sisters of Perpetual Adoration... St Aidans. Its amazing.
Hey Dan, loved the tour of this cemetary. It was beautiful. Loved all the monuments. Another great video. Love from Georgia USA
Stunning!!!! Such beautiful statues.
Perfect cemetery weather is right! Glad I’ve got my hot tea to keep me cozy as I watch 😊. Thanks very much
Thanks!
Thanks so much Ellen
I love your videos sooo much, but I found myself having to pause, and hone in on details of a stone that you passed by, so quickly. There was so much there!! I know you’re trying to show so much to us, and have a lot of area to cover, with limited time…..but if you could just hover a few more seconds, on something you find interesting…it would give your viewers the opportunity to find out more about that. You breezed by so many neat things, that I would have like to see…but I get it. You’re trying to show us the whole place. I truly appreciate everything you do!!! Thank you!!
I know what you mean but I like to keep the walk flowing. But you're doing exactly what I want people to do by pausing the footage you can read everything because its shot in 4k. Thanks x
Wonderful as always. Thank you
Excellent as always. Thanks Dan 👍
I've never seen or even heard of a man drawn hearse. Very fascinating indeed!
That guy shouting seems like a military funeral , with the army guy shouting in Irish to the soldiers,x❤️
Amazing!! Thanks so much!
That was the most well maintained cemetery I have ever seen
What a magnificent place. Your research is impeccable, excellent.
Beautiful! Well maintained Cemetery! Thanks for sharing☺
Thank you for the walk today. Love peeking inside the crypts. Beautiful cemetery, don't have anything like this in Miami.
Smashing video Dan and informative and enjoyable as always.. Wish I could get here more but Duty seems to be calling more just lately.. Catch you later and thanks for sharing this.. Loved watching x
Very tense….lol. Love it!❤
I’m hooked on your videos, the architecture is beautiful! ❤
"One of these days I hope I don't see an eyeball staring back at me," from the crypt! Haha that comment gave me the chills. You're certainly brave looking in those things, good sir!
Beautiful cemetery though! I'd love to visit sometime. Cheers from Pennsylvania! 👋
love the weather! very interesting video!
Love the huge old monuments. Please make more videos in this cemetery.
Another great tour. I also expect an eye to peak out one of those crypts 👀😱😁❤️🇨🇦
Love it! Thanks❤
This is my Colorado channel
It still amazes me on the spacing and the circle crypt’s the planing and engineering, wow. The landscaping was really nice, to me impressive. That truck that went by kind of looked like a vault truck, we have in Michigan. 🇺🇸
love your vids and your laid back way of speaking
Hi Buddy I have just stumbled upon your channel
Love the name
I’m from Dublin and I enjoyed the Glasnevin Cemetery
Maybe you might be interested in another very old Graveyard
It’s claim is that Arther Guinness & His Wife are Buried in the wall of the church
They are standing upright behind the Tomb
It’s a quiet beautiful place upon a hill
It’s called Boston Hil And from there you can see 4 County’s
It’s in Dublin/ Kildare I will send you the Information if you want to maybe Drone footage or stills
Good one
Thanks John Dublin 🇮🇪
That sounds interesting John, If you have drone footage that would be great.
The perfect weather for such a tour...also creates a great, mysterious atmosphere...🤩
(You need a flashlight for the crypts☝🏻😉)
Did you do a part 2? I ask because you appear to have missed the most visited grave, which is that of General Michael Collins, who led the rebel forces that expelled the British in 1921. You might remember the 1995 biopic in which Liam Neeson plays Collins. Two of Ireland’s presidents are buried there (De Valera and O'Kelly), as are Brendan Behan, Charles Stuart Parnell and Luke Kelly a famous folk singer. The cemetery walls feature castellated watch towers to deter body snatchers! For James Joyce fans, the cemetery is the setting for the Hades episode in 'Ulysses'. It's a nice place to visit as you can enter the National Botanic Gardens next door through a gate in the cemetary wall.
I loved Glasnevin Cemetery...I did the tour there! I wish I would have explored more but I spent too much time having fun in the gravediggers pub 🍻🤣 Thanks for the tour!
The piëta statue was beautiful. The real statue is in Rome in the San Pietro. I’ve been there several times. Martha
Thanks Martha, glad I brought a bit of Rome back for you x
Beautiful monuments and statues. Thank you for visiting this cemetary. martha
No problem, glad you enjoyed it x
Really enjoyed this. What's mad is that I only live 10 minute drive from Glasnevin cemetery and I keep meaning to go and look around it properly 🙈
Very well kept cemetery with so many beautiful monuments. Wouldn’t mind being buried there! 🍀
The new Glasnevin opposite this part of the cemetery , is neglected , it’s a disgrace.
Interesting how different the cemeteries are from country to country, even though Belgium is a neighbor of Germany, where I live. Thanks for this tour - I love how unassuming and respectful you are about it Dan :)
Sorry I missed the live, Dan. Crazy work schedule lately that doesn't leave me much time to do what I want to do haha. What a beautiful, well-maintained cemetery! Looking forward to part 2. Hope you are doing well. Also hope to be able to catch a live soon. Until then, I'll content myself being part of the Dead Good Re-watch Crew ;-). Take care x
I was wondering where you've been. Hope you're not working too hard. Thank you for the $10 x
Well done for avoiding the politics
Difficult in glasnevin, you're surrounded by dead Fenians may they Rest in peace ✌️🕊️
The Celtic designs are so beautiful!
lovely cemetery with controversial history, and there it stands today giving it's own testimonial.. beautiful.. thanks Dan!
Great Video!
The phrase "cemetery [graveyard] romance" implies (I explain to those who erase the comments because of their prejudices) an exciting feeling of solitude, peace, remoteness of the place, some kind of bleak & dusky mystery ...
A complex commemoration of death in stone, presumptive of an eternal "after" life, which is in fact fictional. Very interesting. Thank you.
Have I missed it or have you not posted part 2 up yet?
Amazing cemetery.
Its up for members now Alison, but will be on the channel on Friday
@Dead Good Walks OK thank you
Interestingly, since when did they stop installing tomb effigies [..., since when did the fashion for effigies end]?🤔🤔🧐
Wow must be very wealthy families beautiful huge monuments
Beautiful cemetery
What a beautiful place. The design of it is unique.
It is interesting to study English with you, especially cemetery lexicon.😘🤩
These ways are called graveyard alleys.
You missed the Museum and the Cafeteria
This might sound like a random question, but where exactly are the bodies laid to rest in proximity to these large headstones?
Mine said it was premiering at five thirty my time and it's now five fifteen and it was shown an hour ago.
My fault, I had to change it. Sorry Cathy.
No crypts or cemeteries when I die . Instead my ashes will be spread near a river in the mountains .
Every stone tells a story.
Had no idea death was such a big deal or business
well kept and not over grown with weeds and bushes, like some in london
It's a beautiful cemetery but huge
I am going to buy u a torch 😂
I'd only forget it lol.
How much would it cost to have a gravestone like them, alot of wealth there
I think for the larger ones you'd be talking 500k in todays money
@@deadgoodwalks holy moly
I hope someday you aren’t peering through one of the crypts and an eye is peering back a you!! 👻
Perhaps there are still eccentrics, who kiss the ring at the effigy of the reverend. Who knows who knows. The world is full of strange wonders.😵💫🙄
what a great place
Just saw a man walking his dog, unbelievably! No respect for the dead! That just makes me want to be cremated even more.
Beautiful Cemetery for those who want to bring their dogs to poop on the graves.
Yeah, I think there was a poo bag near the bin too on the floor.
People often walk dogs in cemeteries where I live in the US. They tend to be big, sorawlingcemetaries with roads running through them, and I think many of the dog walkers share everyone's fascination with the history, and the rest just appreciate the green space (so much more lawn/space than these UK cemeteries). I don't think walking a dog through carries the same stigma here. But being an irresponsible dog owner certainly would.
They are all so proper and kept compared to Franko tv visiting Perus cemeteries, it's like the wild west in comparison to. 🥴
14:54 In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus says: "Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father."
“Industrial Factory of Death” great name for a punk band 14:18
Copyrighting that then
yet anouther dead good walk video (pun intended ) looks a well maintained cemetery so its safe to say im not discusted among the state of the south one at st johns witch im glad i tipped you off on and the rehoboth cemetery in morley
Why was my comment removed? I didn't laugh at all! So how many dusky crypts are there - 70 or much more?
Would be nice to see your face, so I could connect to your voice, thanks.
Ah but the mystery is so much more intriguing
Neverrrr! lol. I didn't intend the channel to be about me, I'm just the vessel that brings you these places
@@deadgoodwalks Do an introduction video then speaking to the camera wouldn’t hurt 🤷🏻♀️ I respect the consideration and thank you for bringing such beautiful places to us who’ve never been 🙏🏻Cheers
Kiss his ring lol that's rude
I don't know what you mean Martin lol
Good Grief,wanting to annihilate a cemetery🪦🙀💣💥
Beautiful cemetery
