Knockbreda Cemetery
Coronavirus update
In line with emergency legislation, our cemeteries are closed to the public, sculptors and contractors. Access is only allowed for funeral corteges.
We recognise this is a distressing time for anyone who has lost a loved one. These measures are being put in place to protect staff and also to protect members of the public.
Burial arrangements
As we continue to review our service delivery in response to COVID-19, we are introducing further measures in relation to burial arrangements at our cemeteries.
Work on memorials
We have suspended the processing of all memorial applications and are not authorising new memorials or additional inscriptions at this time. Work permits will not be issued, and it is not possible to sign in at cemetery offices.
