🏛️ Historic Odd Fellows Cemetery – Burlington, NJ 🌳
Established in the mid-19th century, the Historic Odd Fellows Cemetery in Burlington, New Jersey has stood as a place of dignity, remembrance, and community service for over 170 years. Founded around 1854, this sacred ground reflects the deep roots of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows in Burlington—an organization active locally since the 1800s and dedicated to caring for its members and the broader community.
More than just a cemetery, it represents a powerful mission: to ensure that every individual—receives a respectful and proper burial. This principle comes directly from the core teachings of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, whose guiding purpose has long been:
“To visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead, and educate the orphan.”
For generations, Odd Fellows cemeteries across the country—including right here in Burlington—served as a safety net for families during times when there were no social programs or insurance systems. Members took care of one another, ensuring no one was forgotten.
Today, that same spirit is alive and well.
💙 The Odd Fellows continue to: • Support families in times of loss with affordable burial and mausoleum options
• Organize charitable events and community outreach
• Provide aid to those in need—locally and beyond
• Promote fellowship, service, and compassion through active lodges
The Historic Odd Fellows Cemetery in Burlington remains a cornerstone of the community, offering not only a peaceful resting place, but also a living legacy of charity, service, and humanity.
As we honor those who came before us, we are reminded that the work of the Odd Fellows is never finished—because helping others is a tradition that continues every day.
