- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)there. Kilmaleery (Cill mo laigaire)Kilmaleery is situated on a hill overlooking the Fergus about 2 1/2 miles from Newmarket. Only a small portion of the church remains. When a burial takes place in Kilmaleery the coffin is laid upon the ground at a certain spot in the graveyard prior to its being placed in the grave. Some call it "the last salute".Mr Dan Halloran of Stonehall explains the custom thus. When a native of the district died the coffin was taken into the church to have the burial-service read over it. When a person who was not a native of the district was being buried the coffin was placed on a spot outside the church.The late Canon O'Dea had a theory that the spot represented the site of the altar of the ancient church, or the nearest point to the altar. The coffin was placed before the altar to have the final blessing imparted. When the Penal Laws closed the churches the coffin was brought as near as possible to where the High Altar once stood.Mr James Murray of Newmarket(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)
