Down through the years of Maynooth College's history, members of the professorial and administrative staff who have spent the greater part of their careers at the college have been buried in locations other than the college cemetery. Those interred in the college precincts or at the old parish cemetery of Laraghbryan before the existence of the college cemetery are noted in the earlier section.

 

Many Maynooth professors, including some of long standing, were appointed to pastoral positions and were buried in the locations where they had ministered as bishops or priests; some were buried in their native places.

 

Those interred where they had ministered as bishops or priests can be regarded as having had a dimension to their lives other than their college careers, and many are documented locally in diocesan and community records. Those who have died in more recent times and who are buried in other locations are documented in this section (BURIED ELSEWHERE II).
