Definitely not the closest cemetery to Foxrock or Tullow Church, but a major cemetery for South Dublin, originally almost exclusively for Protestants, it's about 15km away in Harold's Cross.
Tullow church is on Brighton Road Foxrock and close to Foxrock village.

Just to add, Mount Jerome Cemetery is also used for cremation's, at the time would have been one of a few in the Sth City to supply that option.
