MEMORIAL TO THE DEAD
A Memorial to the Dead Booklet was produced through Bree Parish Office in conjunction with the Student summer Scheme in 1999. This Booklet both mapped and detailed the inscriptions on the gravestones in Bree new and old cemeteries, Clonmore cemetery and Ballybrennan cemetery. It is hoped to update the information on file to include additional inscriptions and headstones added to these cemeteries since 1999 but this will take some time to do.
We do have a number of the original booklets available from the Bree CEP/Parish Office if any parishioner would like one or perhaps for parishioners who no longer reside here it would be of interest. For further information please contact breeparish@eircom.net or breecep@eircom.net or telephone 053 9247613.
