The Mount Moriah Cemetery Association of Philadelphia declares the North Mount Moriah Cemetery Company bears no relation to the association. It notes the 1854-founded non profit group maintains grounds, roads, and structures with funds from lot holders, and claims a false corporate identity used to mislead the public. City office Philadelphia issues and assorted local ads follow.
