Doherty Funeral Homes has been serving the funeral needs of families in the Wilmington area for over 100 years. Today, we continue the tradition of compassion, personal attention, and professional services that started so long ago.

WE PROVIDE EXCEPTIONAL, PERSONALIZED SERVICE... GUARANTEED!

Our distinction is that we provide the highest level of personal service to each family we serve. Listed below are just a few of the unique services we offer. For additional information, simply click on the highlighted service.

  • You can be sure that you will receive the highest level of personal service because we are the first funeral home in the area to offer a Service Guarantee which assures your family's satisfaction.
  • We have developed a unique Family Care© program to assist families resolve the many important matters following the funeral: social security, insurance and pensions, credit cards, bank accounts, and property title transfers, just to name a few.
  • We have developed a one of a kind program called Let's Talk About the Funeral© designed to help children and teenagers understand the death of their loved one and prepare for the funeral or memorial service.
  • We are the first funeral home in Delaware to have a trained and certified Funeral Celebrant© on our staff.
  • We have a full-time Certified Preplanning Consultant to provide information and assist you with advanced planning.
  • We offer comprehensive Bereavement Services to assist you and your family through your grief experience.
  • We Facilitate Only One Service or Visitation at a Time. Some area funeral homes will hold multiple services in their facility at the same time which can cause confusion and embarrassment. We commit to only facilitate one service at a time in our funeral home. This means your family and friends will have the exclusive use of our entire facility and the full attention of our staff during the service or visitation.
  • Our facility at 3200 Limestone Road offers a Coffee Lounge for your comfort and convenience.
  • In order to maintain the highest standard of exceptional service we need to know the areas where we can improve. Therefore, we ask for feedback from each family we serve regarding specific areas of our service. As a result, we can make appropriate adjustments and continue to provide higher levels of service.

Below and throughout this site you will have the opportunity to read excerpts from letters or notes of appreciation from families we have recently served. After all, it is not our opinion, but theirs, that really matters.

"We extend our special thanks to all at Doherty Funeral Homes who assisted us with the final arrangements for our Mom...Everyone who helped us along the way was very professional and polished, yet most understanding and compassionate. From the initial prearrangement (Barry Hughes), to the finalizing and handling the funeral arrangements (Chris Gillis), our family and friends were shown respect, dignity, kindness and love. You all helped make those final days for us much easier and peaceful...as a clear result of the expertise of your staff, Mom looked so beautiful and peaceful, which was such a comfort to us...Be assured, we would be pleased to recommend Doherty Funeral Homes to families in need of your services."

- Barbara F. & Veronica D. and Family (Bear, DE)

"We had used another funeral home for my mother and were not particularly happy with them, so we decided to switch for my father... ...there was no comparison in service! Everyone and everything about this experience was far superior. The staff were kind, friendly, helpful, and very patient! They were wonderful and we have already recommended the Doherty Funeral Home to others. We were very pleased and impressed..."

-Mary F. (Wilmington, DE)

"We were very satisfied with all that you did for my father's funeral. Everything was perfect and beyond our expectations! It was all very beautiful and very organized. You all made a hard time for us very simple and easy. We appreciate all that you did and thank you very much!"

- Joyce R.
