Since its establishment in 1987, Friendship House has maintained a virtual cemetery list comprising the names of people who have utilized our programming and who have departed from us. This cherished list serves as a poignant way to remember and pay tribute to their journey with FH. It holds particular significance for individuals who were not in touch with their families at the time of their passing.
Through this heartfelt practice, we ensure that their memory lives on within our community, and their presence continues to be felt, even in their absence.
Please note: Not everyone on this list was buried in a Potter’s Field. A person experiencing homelessness or houselessness may be unclaimed when they pass away. The State of Delaware will bury unclaimed bodies at one of three Potter’s Fields in the state. This is a way to show loving, support to someone who has passed with no community.
