Moving forward with the times.

Kilgeever Graveyard, Louisburgh.

Killeen and Louisburgh have always taken pride in remembering, honouring and showing respect for those departed this life, by the upkeep of both graveyards in Killeen and Kilgeever. Having the grass cut, painting walls, gates or ensuring illegal dumping was prohibited are just some of the tasks. The Rural Social Scheme have played a part in carrying out these tasks in recent years.

We are now fortunate to have all the graves plotted and recorded. A map is erected at the entrance gates with graves clearly marked and numbered for identification, making it easier to find a particular grave.

Not only that but all this is now available to view online. No matter where we are in the world we can look at our loved ones grave and this ensures that the upkeep of both graveyards are maintained to the highest standard. You can also view and submit memorials.

Of course there are many graves that have no visible markings to identify those buried there. If you know of any graves and would like these included in the surveys Irish Graveyard Surveyors can be contacted here
