Warning on directive for straight-to-ground burial
Cllr Jim Long has warned against a new directive to legislate for casket-free burials.
He told a meeting of Limerick City Council’s environment committee: “It is futile to put a small area of a cemetery for uncoffined burials because what will happen is, for example, I might have lost a member of a family, and I cannot pay for a coffin because it is too expensive.
