Bryn Athyn Church Cemetery

Open 8:00 am to Sunset

The Bryn Athyn Church Cemetery has a peaceful woodland setting. We recognize that this is a personal space for families, but it is also a shared space. We are respectful of this and believe that providing specific guidelines that govern the types of headstones, the size of the headstones, and the appearance of the plots allows for all to find solace in this sacred place. We also recognize that cemeteries are a place of history and require that all markers be made of granite, or stone with bronze plaque, and be clearly marked.  The cemetery is available to members of Bryn Athyn Church.  General Church members can request an exception through the Church Office.

The Bryn Athyn Church Cemetery was established in 1896 and is owned by Bryn Athyn Church. We do not sell plots or transfer ownership. No casket or cremated remains may be buried, or grave marker placed, in the cemetery without prior authorization and a signed Cemetery Burial Agreement. All gravesites must be marked and officially recorded.  No grave marker may be altered without prior permission. All graves must be marked with an appropriate headstone within one year of the interment.  The regulations and policies have been established by the Board of Trustees for Bryn Athyn Church and entrusted to the Cemetery Committee.
