Mount Olivet Cemetery

Mount Olivet Cemetery offers thousands of graves for below ground burials, requiring cement vaults for full body burials and fiberglass vaults for cremation burials. Vaults can be purchased through the cemetery or a mortuary. Many visitors appreciate the beauty and peacefulness of the cemetery, noting it as their favorite in Salt Lake City. It has served as a comforting place for reflection and family gatherings. However, some recent reviews indicate a decline in maintenance, with reports of patchy grass, overgrown areas, and prairie dog holes. Additionally, visitors have expressed frustration with the early closing time of the cemetery, suggesting that later hours would be more accommodating. Despite these concerns, Mount Olivet Cemetery remains a significant location for those seeking tranquility and a connection to history.
