Delaware Cemetery Records

To begin, add a cemetery record or view a list of locations and resources for Delaware cemetery records.

Delaware is a state where they take their history and their past very seriously. This means that it is fairly easy to order records here compared to other states. You can begin by contacting the Delaware First State Cemetery Association or the state board of funeral services. The state board is located in the beautiful town of Dover and exists to regulate and train funeral directors so that they may provide the best possible service to the public. They often work hand in hand with local cemeteries to help keep the most accurate records possible.

Delaware is one of the few states that does not contain an official military burial ground. If someone you love served in the military in this state and passed away, they would be buried at a site outside of the state. Contact the VA to find out more.

You can now order records from Delaware online without having to contact a county or area burial site separately. This is a new service offered in this state and people are just now learning how to take advantage of it. If you are looking for someone interred in Delaware, fill out the form on this site and place your order today.

Like many, this project is part of the US Gen Web project, and it indexes the records that deal with a number of specific surnames and cemeteries in the state. Most are direct transcriptions of the stones themselves. They typically include a first and last name, the birth and death date, the age at death, and any notes that may have been left on the tombstone by the family involved. To retrieve Delaware burial records, follow the instructions below.
