One very important thing to note when you are buying a headstone is that there are rules and regulations associated with erecting headstones in all Glasnevin Trust cemeteries. These vary from site to site, please see the document relevant to the place where you plan to put up the headstone.

When you complete the purchase of a headstone, the following elements are included in the total cost:

The stone itself & the erection of the monument

Inscriptions and engravings, please note that more elaborate designs such as photographs are not included in the fee

Kerbing and chippings in the case where these items are permitted

Please note that the headstone foundation & permit fee are not included in this cost and there will be a separate fee for this

*NOTE ALL HEADSTONES REQUIRE A PERMIT FEE. IF IT IS A NEW HEADSTONE A FOUNDATION FEE IS APPLIED. IF IT IS A REPLACEMENT HEADSTONE A FOUNDATION FEE IS NOT APPLIED AS IT HAS ALREADY BE PAID FOR BUT A PERMIT FEE IS ALWAYS APPLIED.

This varies from site to site and the wishes of the deceased.

At Dardistown, Newlands Cross, and Palmerstown - headstones can be erected immediately after burial.

At Glasnevin and Goldenbridge, applications seeking approval to put up the headstone need to be approved. Once approval is granted, a foundation needs to be put in place.  

This varies from site to site, please read the rules and regulations document associated with the site that applies to you because there are specific things that you should be aware of when erecting a headstone.
