Parish Cemetries: The Parish committees have been looking at our cemeteries over the last while and in the coming weeks, signage will be erected in the cemeteries in Bailieborough and Shercock, outlining the regulations to be abided by in our Parish cemeteries. In St. Anne’s Cemetery, Bailieborough, visitors are asked to park in the car park and walk to your family grave. This should be possible for the majority of people. If that is not possible, enter by the left hand path and continue one-way and depart by the other side. Do not turn back and attempt to return the same way. Never park on a grave or park in such a way, that others have difficulty in passing-by.
