    Wilmington's front gate. The cemetery's surrounded by freight containers and a trainyard, and noisy streets.

    Brandon D. was going through Find-A-Grave when he discovered his grandfather had a twin who died at two months of age and was buried in Wilmington. At the same time many of his Croatian relatives were laid to rest there, and he wanted to find them. So we went for a visit today. Discovered we can't drive onto the little road that goes through the cemetery when a maintenance person nearly collided into us with his truck. He ran over the headstones and yelled that we have to park in the street and walk in. So we did. Gate was open and there are no signs saying vehicles aren't allowed. The grass is mostly dead and splintery and just exposed dirt in several areas. The cemetery is surrounded by railroad tracks and stacked shipping containers. Cranes, engines, and other mechanisms were constantly revving so it's not a particularly peaceful graveyard. Stones that looked to be previously standing are now laying flat in the ground (probably to make it easier for mowing). There were four different men in the office/garage and none could tell us where we might locate the graves we were looking for from the plot numbers we gave them. Ended up spending a couple hours walking around in the sun. Not a lot of shade here. Some of the graves date into the mid-1800s. Notable interments are members of Phineas Banning's family, including several of his children that didn't survive into adulthood. Banning's house is almost a stone's throw from Wilmington Cemetery. The only reason to visit is if you know someone who's here or you're just that interested in the occasional old grave you might see.

From the very first conversation, everything was handled with compassion, professionalism, and genuine empathy. During such a difficult and emotional time for our family, their guidance brought us comfort and peace of mind. A very special thank you to Val, our funeral director. Val was incredibly caring, attentive, and thoughtful every step of the way. She made sure every detail was handled with dignity and respect, and she truly honored my mother's life in the most beautiful way. Her communication was clear, consistent, and reassuring .....we always knew what to expect, and she was always available to answer questions or offer support. Val's dedication and compassion went above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. My family and I couldn't be more grateful for her kindness and professionalism. We felt genuinely cared for, not just as clients, but as people going through one of the hardest moments of our lives. Thank you, McNerney's Mortuary and Val, for your outstanding service and for helping us celebrate my mother's life with such grace and care. We highly recommend them to anyone in need of compassionate, professional funeral services.

From the very first conversation, McNerney's met us with compassion, patience, and a level of care that brought comfort during the darkest days. Every step of the process was handled with thoughtfulness and grace. They were incredibly flexible with all of our needs, understanding that nothing about our situation was planned and that our family needed time, gentleness, and reassurance. They never rushed us, never pressured us, and always made space for our emotions while guiding us with clarity and kindness. Tom Jr., Val, and Anne are truly extraordinary. Their empathy, professionalism, and genuine humanity go far beyond words. They treated my husband with dignity and honor, and they treated our family like their own. In moments when we felt completely lost, they became a steady and compassionate presence we could lean on. This is a family-owned mortuary that leads with heart. During a time filled with disbelief, grief, and unimaginable pain, McNerney's became a place of comfort, support, and trust for our family. Words can never fully express the gratitude we hold in our hearts for the care, flexibility, and love they showed us. If you are looking for a mortuary that honors your loved one and supports your family with true compassion and grace especially in moments that come far too soon McNerney's Mortuary is unmatched. We will always be thankful. - Austria Family

During the intake Cynthia walked us very patiently, compassionately, and thoroughly through every detail and aspect of planning mom's services and in coordination with the church and the cemetery. Along the way she was very easy and accessible to communicate with and did her best to modify and accommodate different requests we had. Ramiro and Andres, we couldn't have asked for better staff to work with us during mom's vigil and at graveside. True compassionate genuine professionals. It made our experience everything we hoped for, to honor our mother's life. We would recommend working with this team without any hesitation. Thank you all for your suppprt during this time of loss and transition. During the wake and vigil Ramiro and Andres were especially cognizant and sensitive to any needs of myself and my family and our guests. If water was low they were quick to replenish. They thoughtfully consulted with me and my sister about the timing of closing mom's casket and whether we wanted to see her again at the end of the night privately. At graveside, they walked us through the steps for the pallbearers to carefully transport mom from hearse to vault, and they also offered to help carry mom in case we were short a pallbearer. Same conscientiousness at the church during mass. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the whole team at Funeraria Del Angel Wilmington!

From the very first moment, Araceli demonstrated exceptional compassion, professionalism, and poise. She handled every detail with grace and heartfelt empathy--from the gentle transfer of my grandmother into their care, to guiding us through the funeral arrangements with unwavering patience and clarity. Her calm, comforting presence was exactly what we needed in such a painful time. What stood out most was how deeply Araceli listened. She took the time to understand our wishes and made sure every element of the service reflected my grandmother's life, spirit, and legacy. No request was too small, and her thoughtful approach made us feel supported, seen, and respected throughout. I am endlessly grateful to Araceli and the entire team at Funeraria del Angel for making an incredibly difficult time a little more bearable. If you ever find yourself in need of funeral services, I wholeheartedly recommend Araceli--she is a rare and remarkable person who brings true heart to her work.

Thanks to them we were able to obtain a Catholic mass & funeral services in our back yard. Our concern was also to get our mom's cremation/Urn within a two week time frame. Chavez Funeral &Cremation delivered reliability, assertiveness & expedited our request. A reputable foundation nonetheless. Under the circumstances where the last thing you need is more task to tackle, Chavez Funeral& cremations took a huge weight of our hands. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Especially to Sonia. Excellent, well done. Cons: Some reviews say that This organization doesn't get back in time. I totally can understand the frustration(under the circumstances) however a simple call and text to, friendly remind Sonia or her staff will solve that miscommunication. Any organization can get backed up or busy but I can assure you it's an easy fix. Atleast it worked for me. Best.

From the beginning, Captain Tony Miller was communicative, patient, and compassionate. He took the time to explain the process, answer all of my questions, and make sure our family felt comfortable entrusting them with something so meaningful. Due to family circumstances, we weren't able to attend the service in person, but we felt confident that our mother was treated with dignity, care, and respect. That peace of mind mattered more than anything. The entire experience, from initial contact to in-person coordination, felt professional and thoughtful. You can tell this is not just a service they provide, but something they approach with genuine care.
