oh arrr!Last I heard the local authority was getting the erection surveyed to assess its safety or otherwise.
and is estimated to have cost in the region of €50,000
A headstone was recently erected in Kilcully graveyard in Cork which the papers say measures fifteen foot by twenty foot. It is very ornate, depicts the gates of Heaven
So that's what the gates of heaven look like? How disappointing...[broken link removed]. It's certainly considerably bigger than the norm.

Heaven? I think it's build on clouds. Not sure that it meets DoE building regulations and by law approval to be honest. I also heard that the carpenter they used was dodgy. Some old hand injuries or something like that.It wouldn't bother me at all, as long as it was structurally safe, that is.
... there should be bye laws about such stuff.
I don't know if you can legislate for taste? Safety maybe, but not taste.Personally I think such over large monuments are vulgar and tacky and there should be bye laws about such stuff.
I don't quite get why this would be distressing to other families. I see some supersize, OTT cars on the roads which dwarf other cars - should there be enforceable rules/laws which restrict these?In my local grave yard some 'supersize' stones have been put up. These are OTT and dwarf the other stones. I can understand that people want to remember a loved one and honor their life - However, this exuberance is distressing to families who have loved ones buried beside these graves.
There should be enforcable rules / laws which respect the needs and wishes of all people.
