They have burial indexes which you can search by name, then find the corresponding entry number in the cematary records. This then gives you cause of death, age,who buried them, who else in grave, who bought it, the Grave number. It costs money to trace a grave number if you approach the cemetary direct....lots. They have church of ireland records going back to the 1700s all on film. It is open from 10.00 am to 7pm mon to thurs and till 50.00pm fri and sat morning. Well worth A visit, much better than the National Library.
