    St. Finbarr's Cemetery in Cork, Ireland, is the city's largest and one of the oldest cemeteries in Ireland which is still in use. Located on the Glasheen Road, it was first opened in the 1860s. The entrance gateway was erected circa 1865, and the mortuary chapel consecrated in 1867.
    Many of the early burials were of the wealthy citizens of the city. Unlike older cemeteries, St. Finbarr's was professionally laid out with numbered pathways and wide avenues.

    Dear Sue,
    I know that I have often told you what lovely work you do and I don't want to become overbearing or overly wordy in my statements as I fear they may cheapen my words sentiments. I do however want you to know that your videos mean an awful lot to myself and countless others across the globe. Life has become very trying for many of us around the world. Food prices have skyrocketed, gas is ridiculous and electricity now costs more than rent where I live. It is so nice to have an escape. A moment or two to step away from our own worries, thoughts and miseries are worth their weight in gold. I thank you so very much for giving us an opportunity to stop and reflect, to be at peace and to take stock of what is truly important in our lives. You and your videos have become a very real and greatly appreciate escape from the realities of this world. I just want you to know how deeply I appreciate you and all of your hard work and diligence. Be blessed and be well, my friend. And thank you once again for all that you do.

    What a beautiful, peaceful cemetery. The monuments are fascinating, especially the chapel.
    I see the cemetery is still in use, somewhat. Thank you very much Sue and GV, for another great video. Take care. 😊

    If a family is looking for a particular grave or burial area in the church cemeteries is there usually a directory or a person on the grounds for them to ask or look up?
    The statues were very beautiful and haunting.

      I've never found anyone at a graveyard who has names, it's best to ring local council whi will be able to direct you to where to look. Also find a grave might be of some help too. The bigger cemeteries will have an office but the older ones don't
