Discover our Historic Cemeteries

Our parish cemeteries are meticulously maintained and hold a special place in the heart of our church community. With a rich history dating back more than 200 years, these sacred grounds offer a peaceful final resting place surrounded by the beauty of nature.   

St Paul's Cemetery Chapel, Zion Line, which opened in 1837, is one of the oldest church buildings in Cavan Monaghan Township.  It  is no longer used for church services but is maintained as a significant heritage structure.   The annual outdoor Decoration Day service occurs in the cemetery in June on Father's Day at 2 pm.

St Mary's Cemetery Chapel, Lifford, was originally established in 1852.  It was entirely rebuilt in 1997 after fire destroyed the original church.   St Mary's Chapel has regular liturgical services three times a year.   Decoration Day service in the cemetery takes place on the first Sunday of August each year at 2.30 pm.

Available Plots 

Saint Mary's Cemetery, Lifford, and Saint Paul's Cemetery, Zion Line, both have burial plots available.   St Mary's also offers columbarium niches. 

Whether you are seeking a peaceful resting place for yourself or a loved one, our parish cemeteries provide a serene and dignified setting at a reasonable cost.
