About this cemetery

Dean's Grange Cemetery in Deansgrange, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, was opened in 1865 as a Christian burial ground. It was created after the Burial Act 1855 led to the closure of many overcrowded Dublin churchyards. With over 150,000 burials, it is one of the largest cemeteries in Ireland and is run by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council. Its entrance gateway was designed by Patrick Harnett McCarthy.
