The cemetery was abandoned in the early 1960s; the site is now occupied by a housing project. For more information about the closure of the cemetery see Exhibit A, Petition to Greene County Court of Quarter Sessions, 7 March 1961, Clerk of Court's Office, Courthouse, Waynesburg, Pennsylvania.

A memorial to those known to have been buried in the Methodist Church Cemetery stands in Section P, Lot 99 of Green Mount Cemetery in Waynesburg.

Some families removed bodies of relatives from the Methodist Church Cemetery before its abandonment. Often those removed were taken to Greene County Memorial Park Cemetery in Morgan Township, Greene County, Pennsylvania.
