Title: List of cemeteries in Kerry?
Post by: jaylay on Saturday 30 August 08 18:32 BST (UK)
Does anyone know where I would find a list of all of the cemeteries in Co. Kerry, including old or disused ones?  I am planning a 'grave hunting expedition' in and around Tralee, looking for Church of Ireland burials mainly.

Any advice would be most welcome!

there is a list of donated cemetery records at http://www.cmcrp.net/static/listcem.php?t=Kerry - you may be able to establish some more for your list from the details included.

other Co. Kerry links that may be of use :

Thanks again Shane - my list is getting longer and longer!  I called Kerry County Council this morning and they gave me a list of cemeteries that are in their remit - not ones attached to churches, or in towns with town councils, or private burial grounds.  Typical Irish way of complicating what should be a fairly straightforward job  ;D
