Memorials
All memorials installed in the cemeteries at St. Joseph on the Brandywine must meet the following criteria:
• Foundations must be at least 36 inches deep to meet frost line criteria in Delaware and flared at the bottom to ensure stability. Effective January 1, 2023, foundations for most monuments will be installed by the parish at the expense of the monument company.
• Both Upright and Flat Memorial Markers may be installed in the cemetery.Preferred Monument Vendor Directory | View Cemetery Map | Guide to Burial Rights in the Old Cemetery

Niches
With burial space becoming more and more valuable, many columbaria are designed for maximum capacity. Our columbarium niches are large enough to give adequate space for a standard-size urn.

Niche Layout
Our "Resurrection" Columbarium, located between Cemetery Sections C and E, holds a total of 80 niches, half of which house single vessels, and half house double vessels.
How it works:
The remains of a cremated person are placed in an urn which is then placed into a niche space in the columbarium. "Double" niches will accommodate two urns. The urn is then sealed and the space marked with the name of the deceased.
