The political and religious content of Australian funerary monuments and ceremonies commemorating Irish rebels during the 1920s stands in interesting contrast to those conducted two decades earlier to mark the centenary of the Irish rebellion of 1798. This contrast reveals shifts and tensions in the self-understanding of Irish-Australia and of Australian Catholicism. Corporeal remains of Irish rebels or their families buried in Australian cemeteries became a focus for rituals through which they were used to venerate rebels who had actually died as martyrs for Irish republicanism.
