The Wildwood Cemetery Company was incorporated in 1863, when the lands the company then acquired were thickly wooded and suggested the name "Wildwood." At its largest, the cemetery stretched over 450 acres. Currently, it is about 300 acres and is composed of West Wildwood, East Wildwood, Mount Carmel, and Mound Cemetery with 70,000 burials and counting. Over 20 miles of roads pave the way through the cemetery.
In 1896, a chapel with Buffalo stained glass by F.J. Riester was constructed. Services can be held there still today. The Wildwood Cemetery office was made as an addition to the chapel in the 1930s and is still in use and staffed for patrons to visit for information.
Wildwood was home to Lycoming County's first crematory, which was installed in 1972. A second cremation unit was installed in 1994, housed in a separate building behind the chapel. The newest machine was installed in 2016.
