AGM 2016: Call for papers
The theme of the ASCE Conference 2026 is "Conflict, Memorialization = Reconciliation".
Conference Theme: Conflict, Memorialization = Reconciliation
Our preference is for presentations which relate to cemeteries which have had a direct involvement in conflict, classically Pere Lachaise and the Communards, although this is not essential.
Presentations should bring out any contentious issues caused by the siteing of memorials to victims of conflict, how a sense of balance has been achieved in the interpretation of those memorials and how that interpretation has helped to achieve reconciliation.
Speakers must present in English, with visuals, a presentation lasting 30 minutes.
Call for papers is open until March 10th 2016.
Speakers should forward their abstract for consideration to the Editorial Board at flaybrick.m.garden@ntlworld.com . If accepted we will require presentations to be submitted at least 4 weeks in advance of the conference on power point.
Editorial Board members:
- John Moffat ASCE Steering Group Member for the UK
- Professor Javier Barberan, Seville University
- Mervyn Colville, Deputy CEO Glasnevin Cemetery
AGM 2016: Save the date
The conference will take place on 6th, 7th and 8th October in Dublin Castle.
The conference will be held in the year of the 100th Anniversary of the Easter Rising in Ireland in 1916, one of the pivotal events in modern Irish history, on 6th, 7th and 8th October in Dublin Castle.
The theme, “Conflict, Memorialization = Reconciliation” is appropriate to both the 1916 anniversary and to our hosts Glasnevin Trust.
Delegates will be able to experience the full splendour of Glasnevin Cemetery – Irelands National Cemetery, containing within its walls all the key players in the foundation of modern Ireland.
The conference will be of special interest as it addresses the sustainability of cemeteries in new innovative ways – through Europe’s largest cemetery restoration, state of the art museum telling the stories of the dead, and engaging education programme.
Registration for this event will start shortly.
Look out for further announcements and be sure not to miss what promises to be a very special conference in the ASCE calendar.

Glasnevin Cemetery (Dublin, Ireland)
Glasnevin Cemetery was established in 1832 under the direction of Daniel O’Connell for the purpose of burying “people of all religions and non”.
About the cemetery
The Glasnevin cemetery encompasses 124 acres and 1.5 million burials. It has a great national heritage through the social and historical history of the people buried there from all walks of life over 178 years.
Famous people
Famous people interred there include the founder of the Cemetery - Daniel O’Connell, Charles Stewart Parnell, O’Donovan Rossa, Eamon De Valera, Michael Collins, Countess Markiewicz, Maud Gonne McBride, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Brendan Behan, Christy Brown, Jimmy O’Dea, Luke Kelly, Alfred Chester Beatty, Michael Cusack and Liam Whelan. Less acclaimed people include victims of the Great Famine, the Cholera outbreaks and the Air India crash as well as the babies in the old Angels plot which was renovated and inaugurated by Presi dent McAleese in 2005.
Architecture
The Cemetery’s most famous architectural feature is the 55 meters high O’Connell Tower, designed by George Petries and made of Wicklow granite, where the remains of Daniel O’Connell are interred in a family crypt directly below the tower. It is still one of the highest structures in Dublin. The crypt and tower have recently been restored in conjunction with the OPW and are open to the public for the first time since 1970. The Mortuary Chapel, designed in the 1870s, is appointed with stone carvings by James Pearse (father of Padraig and Willie).
Design
The opening of Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris in 1815 provided much-needed inspiration for cemetery designers, who had hitherto designed fairly functional cemeteries. With Père Lachaise as an example, the garden cemeteries were initially informally landscaped, with sweeping roads wide enough for carriages, and smaller paths for strolling. Careful planting (particularly of trees) and architectural features that impressed or drew the eye were key features. The whole effect was that of a private, landscaped park, with a central chapel instead of a country house. Unlike churchyards, these cemeteries were independent of a parish church, were located outside the city in what were then suburbs. These cemeteries became known as 'garden cemeteries'.*Main photo source: www.dctrust.ie

Mon - Sun: 9.00am to 6.00pmDardistown Cemetery & Crematorium (Dublin, Ireland)
Dardistown Cemetery was established by Dublin Cemeteries Trust in 1990 to serve the communities of North West Dublin.
About the cemetery
Dardistown Cemetery, located near Dublin airport, was opened in 1990. The cemetery covers 42 acres and is developed as a lawn cemetery. In order to retain the attractive features of older cemeteries, such as Glasnevin Cemetery, Dardistown is divided into sections. Each section is named after saints associated with the locality – for example St.Columba, St. Margaret and St.Doulagh. The entrance to Dardistown is through the original gates and piers for St.Paul’s Section of Glasnevin Cemetery which date back to 1860.Locality
Dardistown is located in the heart of Fingal whose rich heritage and long history is evident in the many famous buildings, churches, castles, great houses and archaeological sites located in the area. This wealth of monuments, some dating as far back as 5.000 years, reflect the various periods of Fingal’s history from Viking occupation to the diversity of Anglo-Irish history through to modern day Fingal.*Photo source: www.dctrust.ie

Goldenbridge Cemetery (Dublin, Ireland)
Goldenbridge is the first cemetery to be opened by Daniel O'Connell and the Dublin Cemeteries Committee in 1828.
About the cemetery
With the passing of the 'Act of Easement of Burial Bills' in 1824, a committee was formed to administer the proposed cemetery. A small plot of land had been acquired for this purpose at Goldenbridge. The cemetery was opened in 1828 and the first burial took place on the 15th October of that year.Set on just two acres of land, Goldenbridge incorporates many of the classical features that were to dominate the 19th century. With delinated pathways and surrounded by high walls, it is an oasis of tranquility in the hearth of a busy suburb.
Garden Cemeteries
Unlike churchyards, these cemeteries were independent of a parish church, were located outside the city in what were then suburbs. These cemeteries became known as 'garden cemeteries'.Locality
Inchicore (Irish: InseChór) is a southern inner suburb of Dublin, Ireland, south of the River Liffey and west of the city centre, in the Dublin 8 postal district. The district was originally a village just outside Dublin city until it was swallowed up by the expanding city more than a century ago. It has a strong association with the railways, with the main engineering works for the Irish railway network having been first located there in the nineteenth century.Address
