Local councillor Mary Hoade has vowed to keep working to find extra cemetery space in Annaghdown, as the plans for a new burial ground have been put on hold.
The plans for a 1.3 acre development were submitted in April, but have since been withdrawn by the County Council environment department.
It would provide 255 double plots, 20 single slots and 40 urn plots, and would be located 300 metres from the existing graveyard, accessed via a small lane.
However, a group of over 150 people collectively submitted a request the graveyard access be from the main road instead.
