an other garden no.5: mortuary chapels in bohermore cemetery
Stories and Histories
The mortuary chapels
face each other across the Bohermore graveyard, formerly known as the
new cemetery, which was built in 1880 in a style then
recently popularised in English and particularly London cemeteries.
Victorian style cemeteries were grandious in scale and design, populated with family vaults and crypts often using a Classical design, with the inclusion of columns and urns and the exclusion of more traditionally Catholic symbols such as the cross. Both chapels are in keeping with this style though the western chapel was reserved for Catholic usage and the eastern for Protestant use.
