Suggestions have been made to add columbariums to as many cemeteries in Sligo as possible.
Cremation services have become a preferred choice for funerals in recent times, and space in cemeteries around the county is becoming limited.
The cost of land has also increased, which in turn has contributed to the overall price of a burial.
Cathaoirleach of Sligo County Council, Gerard Mullaney, feels that installing columbariums in cemeteries would be an effective way to deal with the issue.
