Historic Goshen Cemetery is located along the Delsea Flyway, a key bird and butterfly migration route in beautiful Cape May County, New Jersey. The cemetery is a short drive from many pristine beaches and the city of Cape May, America’s first seaside resort known for its coastal charm and grand Victorian houses. The property is conveniently located near Philadelphia and other northeastern metropolitan areas.

Cape May County is world famous as a nature lover’s dream, bordering the Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean with many bays and tributaries. Truly a birder’s paradise and a sun worshipper’s dream. The pristine forests are home to deer, fox, and coyote and provide critical habitat for amphibians, turtles, and bird of prey like the American bald eagle.

The cemetery resides in one of the oldest continuously inhabited colonial villages located in Cape May County.

Goshen is a village steeped in traditions and history. The cemetery is the final resting place of seamen, farmers, and traditional colonial craftsman that helped build the Cape, making it one of the most desired and revered seashore resorts in the world.

Historic Goshen Cemetery provides 1.75 acres along the Delaware Bay and offers the perfect setting for eco-friendly funeral options in a place that embraces the history, environment, and traditions of the past and present with open arms to the future.
