Bethany Cemetery is located within the city limits of Charleston. St. Matthew's Lutheran Church opened Bethany Cemetery in 1856 after its first cemetery was filled, following several yellow fever outbreaks that devastated the immigrant German population of Charleston. Today, Bethany's beautiful 25 acres are filled with some of the finest Victorian era mortuary art in the low country.
Bethany is open to all faiths. It is surrounded on all sides by a security fence and is regularly patrolled by the City of Charleston Police Department and has an office on-site that is staffed every day. We invite you to consider Bethany as you plan your future needs. With a tradition of service in your time of need, we offer our property and services for your consideration.
