Phase III and Phase IV  Angels Remembrance Garden Restoration

The following plots are in these sections : Ranges - VI, WI, XI, YI, ZI, AJ, BJ, CJ, DJ, EJ, FJ All numbers inclusive

Renovation works will continue on the Angels Remembrance garden, the next Phases - PHASE III and  Phase IV will be starting Monday July 26th to be completed by the end of August (See plan - Yellow and Orange sections marked).

Plaques WILL BE REMOVED from these sections, and will be placed adjacent to the plot for collection - the plaques will remain there until the end of August 2010. 

All sections post 1987 i.e. those with headstones, will be landscaped from beginning of September to the end of October 2010. All items to be removed before this date.

Glasnevin Trust assures all families of Angels buried in the plot that no graves will be disturbed during the renovation. The work will be expertly and sensitively undertaken as was the case in the work undertaken in the renovation of the Old Angels Plot, elsewhere in the Cemetery, in 2005.
The landscaping process involves the levelling of the uneven ground through the placement of 300-600mm of topsoil over the existing grounds and this topsoil will then be levelled to avoid any future subsidence of the plot.
We are continuing to improve all areas of the cemetery, including the area around the New Angels’ Plot, to make the cemetery an even more dignified place to visit.
Following discussions with parents over the past months, one of the main issues raised is the need to be able to individually mark their child’s resting place.
The Trust has agreed that if any permanent marking is to be allowed (other than headstones in place at post-1987 graves) then it must be officially approved by the Trust, very discreet in size and style, uniform in type and capable of carrying an inscription.
We have spent the last few months sourcing, with an Irish foundry, a selection of plaques that would be very suitable to achieve the above criteria and families’ collective aims.
 

The 4 options that are available to choose from are: 1) A Teddy bear plaque, 2) A heart shaped plaque and 3) A Square shaped plaque and 4) An Oval shaped plaque.

As mentioned in the past, we intend having a designated area to display plaques, we are exploring many different options to achieve this - including placing inscribed plaques on the boundary of the plot. Any other items if not removed will be removed by the Cemetery authorities.

Any items placed on the sections already landscaped WILL be removed on a weekly basis.
