Unwanted grave

naughtysmurf

A couple purchased a grave from the council in Mungret a number of years back for approximately €1200, no longer want them as going for cremation, do they have any options even for a partial refund or transfer the ownership?
What happens if they don’t use them?
Thanks

I'd imagine the council would take it back, might be a case that you've to wait for someone else to buy it or pay a penalty but I'd get onto them

I don't a know if it's possible but Limerick Co. Co. put a cremation section in Mt. St. Lawrence's cemetery so maybe they might swap around?

If they are unable to sell grave back to council, they could always use the grave and bury the ashes.
