About DelawareObituaries.com

A Delaware Legacy Project Initiative

Honoring Lives. Preserving Memories. Protecting Delaware’s Story.

DelawareObituaries.com is a statewide memorial portal created to honor the lives of Delaware residents while preserving the stories, memories, and legacies that define our communities.

As a signature initiative of the Delaware Legacy Project, the portal serves as a place where families, friends, churches, funeral homes, and communities can come together to celebrate life, share service information, and ensure that the stories of loved ones are not forgotten.

We believe every life matters, every story has value, and every generation deserves the opportunity to learn from those who came before them.

About the Delaware Legacy Project

The Delaware Legacy Project is dedicated to preserving the people, places, stories, photographs, traditions, and histories that have shaped Delaware throughout the generations.

Our vision is to create a lasting archive that captures the rich heritage of Delaware’s families, neighborhoods, churches, civic leaders, veterans, educators, artists, entrepreneurs, and community builders.

Through partnerships with funeral homes, churches, historical organizations, community groups, and families, we are working to preserve Delaware’s collective memory for future generations.

Why DelawareObituaries.com Exists

An obituary is more than an announcement of a passing.

It is a record of a life lived, relationships built, faith demonstrated, service rendered, and contributions made to family and community.

Unfortunately, many of these stories become difficult to find over time.

DelawareObituaries.com was created to help preserve these memories while providing a trusted source for:

  • Obituary and memorial information
  • Service and visitation details
  • Funeral home information
  • Cemetery and final resting place information when available
  • Family tributes and remembrances
  • Historical and community preservation

Our goal is to ensure that Delaware stories remain accessible, searchable, and meaningful for generations to come.

Working Alongside Funeral Homes

We recognize and value the important role funeral homes play in caring for families during times of loss.

DelawareObituaries.com is designed to support and complement funeral homes by expanding access to memorial information, increasing visibility, and helping preserve family stories beyond the day of service.

Through collaboration and partnership, we seek to strengthen the resources available to Delaware families while honoring the professionalism and compassion of funeral service providers throughout the state.

Preserving Delaware's History One Life at a Time

Every obituary contributes to a larger story.

Together, these stories tell the history of Delaware.

The Delaware Legacy Project envisions a future where residents, students, researchers, historians, genealogists, churches, and families can access a growing archive of Delaware lives and legacies.

Over time, this archive may include:

  • Family histories
  • Oral histories
  • Historical photographs
  • Church records
  • Community leaders and pioneers
  • Veterans and public servants
  • Cemetery and memorial records
  • Neighborhood and cultural histories

By preserving individual stories, we help preserve Delaware itself.

We are committed to:

  • Honoring every life with dignity and respect
  • Supporting families and communities during times of remembrance

  • Protecting privacy and maintaining professional standards
  • Preserving Delaware’s history for future generations
