Foulkstown Cemetery in Kilkenny
Many local families have been left deeply concerned following news that Foulkstown Cemetery, which is owned and administered by St Patrick’s Parish is almost at full capacity.
Due to the limited amount of space remaining, the future of the cemetery on the Waterford Road is being considered according to the parish's weekly newsletter.
From October 1 requests to purchase a right of burial will be accepted only from the following categories: parishioners of St Patrick’s parish, those who have pre-purchased rights of burial in the cemetery.

Families with existing graves are encouraged to use these graves for future burials if capacity allows. It is also possible for current owners of a right of burial to transfer ownership of the right associated with particular graves so that the next generation might have access to them.
Enquiries regarding Foulkstown Cemetery should be directed in writing to Fr Kieran O’Shea, St Patrick’s Pastoral Centre, Loughboy, Kilkenny or kieranoshea@ossory.ie
