Wildwood has been burying Williamsport families since 1863. Many lots bought generations ago are still held by the purchaser’s descendants — often without anyone in the family knowing it.
If you think your family may have a connection here, tell us the names you know and we will check them against our burial records and our lot register by hand. There is no charge and no obligation, and we will come back to you either way.
What we will need
Your own name and either an email address or a phone number, so we can reply. Then whatever family names you know — parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents if you have them. Maiden names help a great deal.
One name is enough to start. Approximate spelling is fine; we search for near spellings too, because a name as a family remembers it and a name as a nineteenth-century clerk wrote it down are often not quite the same.
What happens next
The search runs against 54,000 interment records and our register of lot purchases. Anything it finds is then checked by our office against the deed books before we contact you, because our register records who bought each lot, and burial rights can pass through a family in ways the register alone does not show.
That check is done by a person, not automatically, so please allow a few working days. What we send you is a starting point for a conversation — not a statement that you own anything.
If you already know the lot
If you know which lot your family holds and have a question about inheritance, transfers, or what rights come with it, our Lot Owners and Inheritance page covers how ownership generally works, and the office is on (570) 323-8421.
We store the details you give us so that we can research your enquiry and reply to you, and we share a summary with the partner who manages our advertising — your contact details and whether we found a possible match, but not your family’s names and not any lot details. Our privacy policy explains this in full.
