The decorative roadside signs created by Roscommon artist Albert Siggins have been adversely affected by the weather over recent years and Drum Heritage Committee decided to replace them. The new signs were made of aluminium by Athlone-based company Spectrum Signs, and the one on the approach road to Nure gives a picture of the restored Wake House in Caoinna Marbh Remembrance Park, the only such building in the country. The sign also includes an information panel on wake practices, much of which was collected by James Delaney from Nure man Kieran McManus.
