Our Burial Ground 

05-Very Wide Burial Ground 

If you are familiar with Upper Dublin (Maple Glen, Ambler and environs), some of the names associated with the Upper Dublin Friends Meeting will be familiar.  Jarrettown was named for the Jarrett family, Knight Road was named for the Knight family, and on and on.  Many members of both of those families are in our burial ground.

A map, as of 1994, is located here. We will have a file with names and burial locations in the future.

To find out more about who is buried on the Meetinghouse grounds, click here to go to FindAGrave.com.  This is a project that is still underway, so all of those interred are not yet entered into that database.

Planning your Visit

 

New to Meeting for Worship? 


If you've never attended a Meeting for Worship, we hope you will come worship with us.   

Many have found help in viewing the "introductory" videos to answer questions that might arise in expectation of a Quaker Meeting for Worship.   

Most Quaker meetings, at least in this part of country, are so-called "unprogrammed" meetings. This means that our meetings for worship are not led by a minister but are largely conducted in silence.  Typically, a Clerk or other Member of the Meeting will close worship with a simple "Good morning, friends" but otherwise the meeting may be completely silent. 

Members and attenders are always invited to speak out of the silence with a message about their spiritual journey, although messages are not responded to directly.

A message has been described as a pebble tossed into a pond.  The resulting ripples are received by others in the meeting and may contribute to their own spiritual journeys.
