Wilmington & Brandywine Cemetery is a nonprofit organization located in downtown Wilmington. Founded in 1843, we are an active cemetery selling lots and providing burial services with approximately 24 acres to maintain. Our beautiful chapel is also available to the public. Many prominent Wilmingtonians and Delawareans are buried in our cemetery. In addition, the Delaware Forestry Service has designated seven of our mature trees as champions. We have community service days with students and scouts, services honoring our veterans, and cemetery tours as we do our part to enrich others.
