Doherty Funeral Homes

Doherty Funeral Homes and Cremation Services, a renowned establishment in Wilmington, Delaware, has been providing compassionate and exceptional funeral services for over 125 years. We are committed to upholding our legacy of integrity, excellence, and empathy in serving families during their time of need.

It is with great privilege that our family serves your family, ensuring that each aspect of your funeral arrangements is handled with the utmost care and professionalism. As a reflection of our dedication to your satisfaction, we are proud to offer a Service Guarantee, a testament to our commitment to meeting your family's needs.

We understand that the period following a funeral can be overwhelming, which is why we have developed the Family Care© program. This unique initiative provides comprehensive support to families, assisting them with crucial matters such as social security, insurance and pensions, credit cards, bank accounts, and property title transfers. By alleviating these burdensome tasks, we aim to help you and your loved ones navigate through the aftermath of the funeral smoothly.

At Doherty Funeral Homes, we recognize the importance of grief support during the healing process. That is why we provide comprehensive Bereavement Services, tailoring our assistance to your unique needs. From individual grief therapy to grief support groups, we offer a range of resources to help you and your family cope with your loss.

In our pursuit of excellence, we actively seek feedback from the families we serve. By understanding your experience and insights, we can continue to improve and deliver even higher levels of service. Your satisfaction remains our top priority.

Furthermore, we extend our gratitude to the brave men and women who dedicate their lives to serving our nation and communities. Through our Veterans Pre-Planning Program, First Responders Pre-Planning Program, and Fallen Heroes Program, we offer special programs and support for military veterans, police officers, firefighters, and EMS personnel. It is our honor to assist those who have selflessly served.

Bill Doherty, President of Doherty Funeral Homes, personally guarantees your satisfaction with our Professional Services, Facilities, and Automotive Services. If you are not completely satisfied, you will not be charged for that particular item of service.

With two convenient locations in Wilmington, we are here to serve you.
