By Dan Walsh at Enniscorthy Municipal District Council meeting
At last Tuesday’s Enniscorthy Municipal District Council meeting, a request was made to build a wall in the cemetery for families to place ashes of cremated loved ones, known as a Columbarium Wall for cremated remains!
Cllr Pat Kehoe stated that several families had contacted him regarding the issue. He mentioned that many deceased individuals are now cremated, and families are seeking a small memorial to honour them.
The Council has promised to investigate what’s involved and report back at a future meeting.
Cllr Kehoe has succeeded in persuading Wexford County Council to provide a properly functioning public address system shared between St. Mary’s Cemetery and Enniscorthy Cemetery during the Patron ceremony in August.
Cllr Kehoe said; “People have been concerned about the need to have speakers available to allow them hear services and prayers when they are at the graves of their loved ones in the new cemetery.
“I am happy to say I met with the local senior engineer Neville Shaw, as well as Fr. Tom Dalton and the relevant contractors to work out a solution. A cable has now been brought across the road to the new cemetery which means speakers can be used as and when they are needed in the new cemetery.”
