Finding burial records in Cromwell Township

  • Death records. Pennsylvania has issued death certificates statewide since 1906. For deaths in Cromwell Township from 1906 on, certificates at least 50 years old are at the Pennsylvania State Archives and newer ones at the Pennsylvania Department of Health's Division of Vital Records in New Castle. For 1893 to 1906, check the Huntingdon County courthouse, usually the Register of Wills.
  • Cemetery records. Ask the cemetery's office or the church that runs it for burial and lot records. Many cemeteries are run by churches or cemetery associations; the Cromwell Township municipal office may know who cares for small or abandoned burial grounds.
