There are two graveyards in this parish. One of them is situated in the townland of Carrick and the other is situated in the townland of Ballynarry. There are in use for the past hundred years. The first person that was buried in Ballynarry graveyard was a grandfather of Mr P Smyth who lives in the townland of Arkilmore. Both graveyards are of a rectangular shape and both Church's are ajoining the graveyards. Ballynarry graveyard is slopeing towards the South. There are no trees growing in Ballynarry graveyard as Father Early cut them down about six or seven years ago. There is also a Protestant graveyard in the parish. There are many Catholic people buried in it, because it was a Catholic Church long ago. The Church is ajoining the graveyard. My father and my grandfather and my grandmother are buried in it.
