The Friends of the Salt Lake City Cemetery is a 501c3 charitable organization that has supported raising funds and encouraging appropriations which have led to some significant restorations of aging infrastructure. In addition to advocacy, as an organization we have helped to organize tree planting projects, annual cemetery cleanups following Memorial Day and working with other groups to help maintain and improve the cemetery. We would love your help with these future opportunities.
We invite your help in making a charitable contribution that will assist us in the efforts mentioned above as well as helping us to raise funds for a required study to nominate the cemetery to the National Register of Historical Places. Your contribution of $50, $100 or $250 or whatever you are comfortable giving, will help us continue this work and in the future help us as we look to providing public amenities and wayfinding materials for visitors to the cemetery.
Our Board’s efforts are purely as volunteers with minimal administrative costs, so your contribution will go further in helping us to support the cemetery masterplan and work to improve this great community asset of culture, open space and peace.

A Non-Profit Group
Friends Of The Salt Lake City Cemetery was formed as a non-profit 501c3 organization to help Salt Lake City with managing the largest municipal cemetery in the United States. The cemetery dates back to the mid-1800's when 120 acres were set aside as a permanent city cemetery. The first burial was September 27, 1848.
