Burial and Funeral information

Magnolia Cemetery is a full service cemetery offering in-ground casket interment and in-ground inurnment for cremated remains. We have the only chapel mausoleum in the city of Charleston. The Mausoleum has accommodations for both casket and urn entombment. Also, located adjacent to the large lagoon, you will find a beautifully landscaped area designated only for burial of cremated remains. However, if one chooses not to bury the ashes in the ground we offer a service that provides for scattering or placing the ashes in the lagoon (as seen in the photo above). This lagoon is tidal fed and the ashes will eventually migrate to the Cooper River. For more detailed information about our services or offerings please contact the Magnolia Cemetery Office at the above contacts or you can stop by the office and talk to one of our staff members.

Magnolia Cemetery's Rich History

Magnolia Cemetery first opened in 1850. It is on the land of a former rice plantation. The property was designed during a new rural cemetery movement that crossed from Europe to America in the mid-19th century. With lovingly landscaped paths and ponds, trees and green space, Charlestonians would come to Magnolia to picnic and play, as well as visit lost loved ones. Today, Magnolia Cemetery continues as one of the best and most beautiful examples of rural and Victorian cemetery design in the U.S. A "who's who" of Charleston and South Carolina history is buried here. Far from a museum to the past, Magnolia continues to grow and still has many burial opportunities on its venerable grounds and modern mausoleum.
