The cemetery grounds are bounded by Levick, Ditman, Hellerman, and Cottage Streets.
Its business office is located at 6950 Tulip Street.
The cemetery sits on land that was once part of Frances "Fanny" Saltar's Magnolia Cottage estate, part of the former 151-acre Magnolia Grove plantation of Thomas Gordon, who purchased the property sometime after 1759.
Magnolia Cottage sat just southeast of today's intersection of Cottage Street and Magee Avenue (formerly Saltar's Lane).
Fanny's well-known "Reminiscences of Colonial Days in Philadelphia" were written at Magnolia Cottage.
