Description
A tombstone and monument mark the final resting place of one of the over 1.5 million people who have been buried at Glasnevin Cemetery. Also know as Prospect Cemetery, it is the largest non-denominational cemetery in Ireland. Located in Dublin, the cemetery was founded in 1832 by Daniel O'Connell, who is buried here as well. Large walls and towers surround the entire cemetery to protect from, which at that time was a big problem, grave robbers. Included in the total number buried here are approximately 800,000 who basically could not afford a gravesite. One of the founding principles of the cemetery when it was opened was to give the poor of Dublin a place of burial.
