County’s cheapest burial plots lie in West Cork

People will ‘rest in peace’ more comfortably in West Cork than other parts of the county — knowing the cost of a burial plot in the coastal haven is a fraction of the price elsewhere.

The considerable price variation extends from €1,820 per plot in the Chetwynd cemetery near the Bandon Road Viaduct, on the outskirts of Cork city, to €480 in Glengarriff and the Beara peninsula village of Allihies.

In many spheres of life, paying in advance may result in a discount, but that’s not the case with graveyards.
