Kilmaine Cemeteries
The graveyard committee wish to inform the public that Mayo County Council are no longer emptying skips in graveyards. In future skips must be emptied privately. This can be costly due to weight, so now the graveyard committee are asking people not to put stones or clay in the skip. As and from today all stones and clay must be removed from the graveyard by the gravediggers or the owners of the graves.
