The church next to the cemetery was started in 1873 and originally called the Jehovah Union Church until it was dissolved in 1963 and became the Jehovah Lutheran Church. It merged with the Lutheran congregation of Salem Union Church of Moorestown in 1971 to become the Holy Cross Evangelical Lutheran Church (which owns the cemetery). The building is currently used by Faith Family Fellowship Church and is not associated with the cemetery.

The cemetery was started the same year as the church in 1873. The Children's Lot is a very small area behind the church along Belfast Road and under several large trees. The Old Section is also behind the church and is small area as well. Most of the grave markers in this section lay flat and are mostly for adults who died in the late 1800's. The Main Section is the large area to the left of the church. The row numbers in this section are based mostly on plot rows rather than each line of grave markers. Nearly all of the grave markers in this cemetery face south.
