The Marienkirche, where he was buried, burnt down in 1789 and was never rebuilt.

Philip Dulichius composed 232 motets, which were highly appreciated at his time and earned him the nickname of the Pomeranian Lassus. On the occasion of the Heinrich-Schütz Days in September 2004 in Greifswald a lecture was given on "Philipp Dulichius - Kantor an St. Marien und am Fürstlichen Pädagogium Stettin 1587-1631" (Philip Dulichius - cantor at St Mary's and at the Gymnasium of Stettin 1587-1631).

In Dulichius' birth town Chemnitz a memorial plaque was placed at the St Jacob's church in November 2008.
