Burial Ground Committees
Offaly County Council works with local voluntary committees to look after various burial grounds around the county. To help support these committees, there is both advice and a grant available towards upkeep and projects, which are approved for the enhancement of the burial ground and its environs.
We also actively encourage respect for nature and biodiversity in our burial grounds and adherence to the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan and wildflower lawn/meadow schemes.
In order to apply for grant funding Burial Ground Maintenance Committees must be properly constituted and registered with the Revenue Commissioners. More information on correctly constituting a committee can be obtained from the Public Participation Network by contacting ppn@offalycoco.ie. For further information on Burial Ground Maintenance Committees in general, please contact environment@offalycoco.ie
