Grave Yd.

Graveyard

What is recorded here

Grave Yd. is a rectangular graveyard in County Louth, Ireland, holding the remains of a church just north of its centre. It has stood since at least 1835, when surveyors marked its edges on paper. People buried there believed death was not an ending but a crossing into another kind of life. The graveyard still keeps that promise, waiting for visitors who remember what forgetting does to the dead.
