The park city cemetery is situated on the hillside just below
town. Its beginnings date back to 1879, when George and Rhonda
Snyder buried their daughter Pearle, on a south-facing slope
of their pasture. Later, the Snyders reportedly deeded the
land to the city.
In November of 1891, a new ordinance called for city officials to purchase land adjoining the "old cemetery" and to have it plotted, numbered, and fenced. The new area was then called the "City Cemetery."
Maintenance, record keeping, and burials of the 40-acre cemetery are under the jurisdiction of the Park City Parks Department. Although it's a historic site, the cemetery is still in use.
There are approximately 1750 occupants in the cemetery. Plots are still available for purchase. The cost of a single plot is $300.00 for city residents; perpetual care is included in the interment fee.
- Visitors are welcome at the Park City Cemetery. Please respect the sanctity of this space for all who visit.
-
No glass vases and or glass containers of any type are allowed in the cemetery at any time. They will be removed as found. Please protect those who work in the cemetery by using safe, unbreakable plastic or metal containers.
