The Utah State Historic Preservation Office operates a public database containing burial information as mandated by Utah state law. The records within this database are provided by individual cemeteries and are sometimes augmented with additional research to complete the entries.
The office maintains a list of cemeteries along with basic contact information. Cemetery managers are encouraged to use an online contact form to ensure information remains current, and they may submit burial records in Excel format to utahcemeteries@utah.gov.
Additional resources provided by the office include an alphabetical list of Utah cemeteries, an interactive map of Utah cemeteries, and information regarding gravestone preservation.
Cemetery grant applications are accepted annually between February 1 and May 31. Eligible projects for these grants include surveying, preservation, GIS mapping, and records digitization.
According to the office, funds are reimbursed once a final report is received in compliance with 63G-6B-201(1). The grant does not cover projects related to beautification or maintenance.
A preservation event hosted by the Weber County Heritage Foundation was scheduled for October 4th at Ogden City Cemetery.
