Questions from parishes
Clear answers before you decide
Where an answer depends on your cemetery or parish, a free site assessment is the best place to begin.
A wall of individual compartments — niches — for cremated remains, each closed with its own personalised granite panel.
As many as your site and budget allow. Kingscourt started with one wall and added two more as demand grew — capacity is agreed during design, not fixed upfront.
Usually, yes — that's exactly what happened in Kingscourt. We design with future expansion in mind wherever possible.
Yes — niches can be pre-sold well before they're needed, not only reserved close to the time of death. In practice, this is how the investment is recovered: in both Kingscourt and Castleblayney, the wall was paid for once around half of the niches were pre-sold, with the remainder representing return for the parish.
