I've lived here for (Dublin) for probably longer than I've lived anywhere in the country and I was even born here, but if I was to die in the morning it would be the last place I'd have myself or my ashes end up!! and aren't we an active list tonight :-) Jane :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Callanan" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2001 8:31 PM Subject: RE: [IRL~CEMS] Cem for Ballsbridge > As well as the Dublin cemeteries it is worth remembering that a huge number > of Dubliners had/have rural roots and it was a common tradition (and still > is) to be taken back "home" to be buried even after more than a generation > in Dublin. > > Richard Callanan > London, England.
