AN INTRODUCTION TO DARDISTOWN CEMETERY

Across all of our locations, Dublin Cemeteries Trust’s chief priority is: To exhibit the utmost respect to the deceased and to protect the dignity and sensitivities of the bereaved.

Dardistown

Cemetery is one of five cemeteries operated by Dublin Cemeteries Trust, and provides both burial and cremation services close to the M50 and M1 motorways. It is therefore ideally located to serve the communities of north Dublin and beyond to the north and north-west, and right up the east coast as far as Armagh and Down.

Established in 1990, Dardistown is set in scenic grounds covering an area of 42 acres. It is a lawn cemetery, carefully landscaped and maintained on a daily basis, with a symmetrical design which creates a sense of light and space. Each section in the cemetery is named after a saint with an association to the local area.

Cremations at Dardistown:

The Chapel/Crematorium was opened in 2016 and is a bright, modern space suitable for any type of ceremony.

It can accommodate up to 300 people and can also be seamlessly divided into two rooms for smaller groups.

There are a number of hotels within 5 minutes’ drive, for those families who wish to hold a reception immediately after the cremation ceremony.

Dardistown has facilitated thousands of cremations over the last six years; as the equipment used is quite modern, it operates to environmental standards using a highly-advanced filtration system.

Following a cremation service, ashes are usually available for collection within a few days, but Dardistown also provides a range of options in the cemetery for memorialisation of ashes.

Memorials for Cremation

Among the options for memorialising loved ones who have chosen cremation are the following:

Urns & Keepsakes

For those who wish to keep ashes in decorative urns, caskets, or keepsakes, we have an extensive selection available to purchase from our Head Office at Glasnevin Cemetery.

Garden of Remembrance

The Garden of Remembrance in Dardistown resembles a conventional burial plot. The urns are placed in a vault underground which is marked by a memorial stone with an inscription remembering the deceased.

The Ash Garden

This is a tranquil section of the cemetery specifically for those who have opted for cremation. Each plot holds six sets of ashes, and a headstone can be inscribed with the names of each of the people whose remains are held in the plot.

Memorial Tree

The Memorial Tree at Dardistown Cemetery is a thoughtful and innovative way to remember loved ones who have passed away. The name, birth and death dates of the deceased are engraved onto a personalised leaf that is attached to the tree for a lasting memory.

Interment of ashes in a grave

Where a family owns a grave, but one or more family members opt for cremation, it is possible to inter urns in the grave, just below the surface.

Columbarium Wall

Dardistown Cemetery has a number of Columbarium Walls for the placement of urns. Each wall contains a number of square sections, and each section is designed for one urn, with an inscription remembering the deceased. Please contact us and we would be happy to advise on how this option can be tailored to meet your requirements.
