About Colestown Cemetery

Colestown Cemetery is a beautiful historic cemetery located in Cherry Hill, NJ which has been doing burial since the 1600's and continues to do burials. It is the only remnant of the hamlet called Colestown, a small village founded in the late 1600's. It is named after Samuel Coles, the founder. Many of the Coles family are buried there, included Samuel who dies in 1917. The familiar Gatehouse at Colestown Cemetery was built in 1858 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. In 2018 Colestown's new President Louis Cicalese is planning to build a new Mausoleum and make many improvements to the cemetery.
