Welcome to Dublin Cemeteries Trust
We are a registered charity and the largest provider of funeral services in Ireland. The Trust operates five working cemeteries at Dardistown, Glasnevin, Goldenbridge, Newlands Cross and Palmerstown, and a visitor experience and historic archive at Glasnevin, Ireland’s National Cemetery.
Our services in burials and cremations, and in heritage, conservation and education, are delivered by a team of over 60 professionals united by a common purpose: to honour and care for all who rest with us, and to keep their memory and their stories alive.
Today, as in 1828, we extend a warm welcome to all.
Learning for All Ages
Our specialist school tours and workshops link closely to Primary and Post-Primary curricula, and are designed to enthral and engage young audiences. The education team also offer online resources and tailored experiences for Third-Level students and Lifelong learners.
The Role of the Trust
