MOUNT JEROME CEMETERY 8 DECEMBER 2023 - FIRST SESSION

Since its foundation in 1836, it has witnessed over 300,000 burials. Originally an exclusively Protestant cemetery, Roman Catholics have also been buried there since the 1920s.

I USED A DJI POCKET 3 Initially I decided not to include a sound track but that idea did not really work but I must admit that it is close to impossible to find appropriate background music for a visit to a graveyard.

Mount Jerome Cemetery & Crematorium is situated in Harold's Cross Ref-100442 von William Murphy Über Flickr: Mount Jerome Cemetery & Crematorium is situated in Harold's Cross on the south side of Dublin. Since its foundation in 1836, it has witnessed over 300,000 burials. Originally an exclusively Protestant cemetery, Roman Catholics have also been buried there since the 1920s. This is very different to Glasnevin cemetery as it is here where wealthy Victorians were buried and set up monuments to themselves. They couldn't take their money with them so they did the next best thing thing. They made sure they could still flaunt their wealth and power for decades and centuries to come but in many cases not very successfully because most of the monuments are in a state of decay while others (especially those made of sandstone) are rotting away at an alarming rate. The Funerary Chapel in the cemetery was the first Puginian Gothic church in Dublin. It was designed by William Atkins.
