- When anybody dies in Kilmore, the people make two wooden crosses. When they are going to bury the person they always put one of the crosses in a skeough near Grange cemetery. It was an old custom in the early days of putting the cross in the skeough, and it has continued on to the present days.
In Tomhaggard the chapel bell is rung when anybody dies. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
