Utah, Cemetery Abstracts

What Is in the Collection?

This collection includes images and an index of abstracts from cemeteries in Utah. These records were created by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and compiled by the Genealogical Society of Utah. This collection consists of type-written images of an index of death records and cemetery inscriptions in various cemeteries throughout Utah that was compiled between 1951 and 1955. The death and burial dates are from 1850 to 1955.

The information is listed on each page according to the location of the grave site within the cemetery, followed by name of dead, age, date of birth, date of death, and parents, husband or wife information. Not all information is complete for all burials. The name of the dead is usually listed by first name with the surname following or sometimes only listed under the parent or spouse information. In some of the records the surname is listed first followed by the given name. There are occasional epitaphs or memorials written next to the person’s entry within the index. Name indexes are sometimes available at the end of each cemetery transcription and usually list the deceased alphabetically by surname.

Additional records and/or images may be added to this collection in the future.
