Dan, The other response was pretty good. If you are standing at the main entrance to the cemetery and walk straight in....you will walk into six sections referred to as the 'Saints Sections' --- each section is broken down into paths and each path is labeled with a Saints name. Thats all that is on the small map I received from the office staff.

Dan, Jack is exactly right. And the Saints Sections are the oldest sections in the cemetery. Walking around you will see lots of areas with no headstones. But according to staff the Saints sections are completely full. Just some people could not afford headstones including some of my ancestors who are in the row called St Kevins. I hate to sound like a broken record but have your relatives call the cemetery office ahead of time, set a time for them to go there, and they will have a grounds keeper take them out to the exact plot. That's how I found my St. Kevins plot. I would never have figured it out without their help.
