Delaware Cemetery Updates – 08/17/2022

The Cemeteries in Delaware page is in the process of being updated. Bob Eckman (Website volunteer and DGS member) has created a database of Delaware Cemeteries. Bob has been working on finding additional cemeteries that were not in the original data, removing duplicates, and documenting each one. In addition, he has been referencing the cemetery on the Find-A-Grave website and adding the reference link and a link to google maps.

Update: The table now includes 839 entries. Included are links to Find-a-Grave and google maps where available. This update also includes a notes field where appropriate.

The new table is a work in progress and will be updated occasionally.

Please thank Bob for his hard work.
