Red Clay Creek Presbyterian Church: Wilmington, DE

The Red Clay Creek Church Cemetery is located next to the church along McKennans Church Road. The cemetery has existed since before the American Revolution with its earliest known gravestone dating back to 1766.  Many of the graves are now cataloged and searchable at FindaGrave.com.

The cemetery is administered and maintained by the Cemetery Company, which was incorporated in 1865. Since its original incorporation the cemetery has added land through purchases or gifts on five occasions. The cemetery now comprises approximately 12 acres. In 1920, by-laws were written and officers elected so that a fund for perpetual care of the grounds could be established.  A new area, pictured on the right, was constructed in 2006 for the burial of cremated remains.

Church members interested in the purchase of lots should review the documentation provided on the right and/or contact the church office.
