The graveyard, which opened in 1855, is still owned by the original organization that founded it, the Mount Moriah Cemetery Association, even the association has no living members today. The Mount Moriah Cemetery Preservation Corporation, composed of officials and citizens from Philadelphia and Yeadon, became the court-appointed receiver of the property in 2014. Receivership allows the corporation to handle the cemetery's business affairs, even though it is not the owner of the property.
