Locating Graves in Glasnevin
At Experience Glasnevin, we can search through our digitised burial records and archive registers to help you find the location of the final resting place of your relatives.
There's a couple of options for locating graves in Glasnevin:
- Email your enquiry to 'archive@dctrust.ie', with as much information as you can about the person you're looking for, such as their name, a general idea of the date of death, and their last known address. However, given the number of people buried in Glasnevin Cemetery, if the family name is a popular one, we cannot guarantee a positive result without the aforementioned identifying information.
- Visit Experience Glasnevin, and either our Heritage Officer or a member of staff at reception, will endeavor to help you locate the grave you're looking for. Unfortunately, we would be unable to help with genealogy research beyond Glasnevin Cemetery and the other cemeteries of Dublin Cemeteries Trust.
