It is about one hundred years since people were buried there.The graveyards are all square. There are ruins of churches in Meevagh and Umlagh. The Umlagh graveyard is on a slope towards the west. There are trees growing in them. The tombstones are of granite or marble.

When this is done their friends have to buy a plot in a cemetery.(Told by Mandy McGettigan, Drimlackagh)
