Many records kept in relation to burials can give researchers
personal information about individuals not always available
elsewhere in state government records. The Utah State Archives
has copies of some records series from some municipally-owned
cemeteries in Utah. In order to determine which records may
be of use, the researcher will need to know in which municipality
the desired cemetery is located. If that is not known, a researcher
may first wish to consult the Utah
State Historical Society's Burial database. This database
is an ongoing project to document all burials within the state
of Utah and is searchable by name of individual.
Cemetery records generally
take two forms: records documenting ownership of plots, and interment
registers which document burials in the plots in the cemetery. For genealogical
purposes, interment registers are usually the most useful, though they
vary in content from cemetery to cemetery. Plot ownership records may
also contain data about the individuals buried in the graves.
The following cemetery records
series are a portion of the cemetery records series available at the Utah
State Archives Research Center or by loan. The dates on the series list
below indicate creation dates for the records; not all of the time span
may be in the holdings of the Archives, but may still be in the custody
of the creating agency.

dates. The list below is arranged alphabetically by creating agency.
