In most cases funerals/burials were arranged by family members, and they could take place wherever the family arranged.
She appears to have been unwell and was originally from outside Dublin. She was an only child whose mother had died during the War of Independence. Her father was still alive when she died in Dublin but he appears to have still been residing outside Dublin.
Thanks for your reply but I'm expecting a moderator here may be able to assist with this
Good night!0 -

Hi,
A relation of mine has a registered place of death as the South Dublin Union Workhouse in Dec 1922.
How can I go about locating her place of burial?
Thanks.
Hi, my granny's sister died in the South Dublin Union, in 1929. I just happened to be in Glasnevin cemetary (doing one of their excellent tours), so asked at the reception desk - though you could pay to access their online records. The girl at the desk confirmed she was buried there, the date of death, location of the grave and who purchased it. I assumed that my granny's sister, having been in the workhouse for 18 years, would have had a pauper's grave, but my granny was the purchaser. We errected a headstone on her grave, Sarah Harding Boulger.
Worth checking with Glasnevin, even if not the nearest cemetary to the Union. Glasnevin cemetary have an active genealogy group, who might help. Richmond Barracks visitor centre would have details on Goldenbridge cemetary records, which is also quite close. Best of luck!0 -
