There are now three cemetaries in Glasnevin. Each time one became full, they built another one.The date tells me the burial was in Prospect cemetary-across the road from the main graveyard. Prospect was used for double burials as most of those buried there would have no living relatives. If you still have the grave papers, you can claim compansation from the archbishop of Dublin. ----- Original Message ---- From: "littlehouseantiques@att.net" <littlehouseantiques@att.net> To: irl-limerick@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, 21 March, 2008 9:07:22 PM Subject: [IRL-LIMERICK] Irish Cemeteries / Burial Plots / In Perpetuity??? George, speaking of Irish Cemeteris and burials...could you explain something to me? Thomas Clarke Luby's father-in-law was the poet John deJean Frazer (died 1852 and buried in Glasnevin Cemetery in Dublin). Found this little "blurb" online about him: "His grave was not secured 'in perpetuity' and a person named Eliza Daly seems to have been buried in it. No stone marks Frazer's grave" Is this fairly common? Do they still do it this way (make you pay for a plot 'in perpetuity')? Or did this just happen to Frazer because he died very very poor?
