Cremation eases issue over burial plot space in Killarney

Undertakers, for over a decade, have petitioned Kerry County Council warning mourning families are under stress due to the shortage. Cllr Maura Healy-Rae claimed: “Shortly, a husband and wife will not be buried together.”
Killarney deaths average about 110 yearly but just ten double plots for new graves remain in the main Aghadoe Cemetery with existing family graves having space for 40 deceased.
