The following plots are in these sections : Ranges - VI, WI, XI, YI, ZI, AJ, BJ, CJ, DJ, EJ, FJ All numbers inclusive.
Renovation works will continue on the Angels Remembrance garden. Glasnevin Trust assures all families of Angels buried in the plot that no graves will be disturbed during the renovation. The work will be expertly and sensitively undertaken as was the case in the work undertaken in the renovation of the Old Angels Plot, elsewhere in the Cemetery, in 2005.
The landscaping process involves the levelling of the uneven ground through the placement of 300-600mm of topsoil over the existing grounds and this topsoil will then be levelled to avoid any future subsidence of the plot.
We are continuing to improve all areas of the cemetery, including the area around the New Angels’ Plot, to make the cemetery an even more dignified place to visit.
Following discussions with parents over the past months, one of the main issues raised is the need to be able to individually mark their child’s resting place.
The Trust has agreed that if any permanent marking is to be allowed (other than headstones in place at post-1987 graves) then it must be officially approved by the Trust, very discreet in size and style, uniform in type and capable of carrying an inscription.
We have spent the last few months sourcing, with an Irish foundry, a selection of plaques that would be very suitable to achieve the above criteria and families’ collective aims.
As mentioned in the past, we intend having a designated area to display plaques, we are exploring many different options to achieve this - including placing inscribed plaques on the boundary of the plot.
