Our Lady of Lourdes Cemetery – Blades – Sussex County – United States

Our Lady of Lourdes Cemetery is located in Blades, Sussex County, Delaware, near the southern edge of town. It is a Catholic cemetery established in 1956 by the congregation of Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Seaford. The cemetery adjoins the older Blades Cemetery, which the town describes as having existed since around the beginning of the twentieth century. Its history is therefore connected both to the Seaford Catholic parish and to the development of Blades as a settled community. The cemetery is identified in state cemetery records under the Seaford designation, although its physical location is in Blades. Burial information appears in public cemetery indexes, but specific grave locations and current interment arrangements should be confirmed through the parish or cemetery administration.
