Cemeteries information for Ardagh and places above it in the hierarchy

County Meath

Lists of cemeteries (and churches with graveyards) within County Meath appear on the webpages covering individual towns or parishes. Those lists are linked to webpages holding details for the individual churches/cemeteries (which may  list the  available records, and where to find them).  Each town/parish page also has a "Nearby Churches" tab, which will display a map showing the locations of churches/cemeteries in that area and adjacent parishes.  To access individual town/parish webpages, click on either the "County Map" or the "List of Towns, Villages & Parishes" link below the map above.

Cemetery Records

Typically municipal cemeteries are owned & managed by the local authority and are multi-denominational, although may have areas reserved for the various denominations. Records may include age, parent’s names and place of birth and plots may contain several members of the same family.
