West Jordan Cemetery

The West Jordan City Cemetery provides a peaceful, well-maintained resting place for loved ones who have passed. Our dedicated cemetery staff take great care to ensure each burial and memorial is handled with dignity, compassion, and respect.

Honoring Your Loved One:

Losing a loved one is never easy, and we’re here to help guide you through the process. Many details will be coordinated through your funeral home or mortuary including:

  • Purchasing a casket, monument, or vault
  • Setting up chairs, tents, or other equipment
  • Installing the lowering device
  • Adjusting or installing a monument

The mortuary will typically schedule the burial with the City, but families may also choose to work directly with the Cemetery Sexton.

Burial Services

Burials must be scheduled at least two business days in advance.
Burial services are available Monday through Saturday, from 9 AM to 4 PM.

Grave Markers

Both grass-level and above-ground markers are permitted in the cemetery.
All markers must be installed with a stone or concrete base that extends at least eight inches from the outer edge of the marker.

Please note:
The maintenance and repair of grave markers are the responsibility of the plot owner or family. West Jordan City is not responsible for damage to any marker or monument, regardless of the cause.

Decorations and Flowers

We encourage families to decorate gravesites in ways that are meaningful and respectful.
To keep the cemetery safe and beautiful for everyone:

  • All decorations should be placed in permanent containers or receptacles that are part of the grave marker.
  • Glass items, including vases, are not allowed anywhere in the cemetery.
  • Live flowers are welcome year-round.
  • Artificial flowers and flags are allowed with the following guidelines:
    • Permitted November through March
    • Permitted on state holidays April through October
    • Must be placed in permanent graveside containers
    • Will be removed one week after state holidays during warmer months
  • Decorations that become unsightly or pose maintenance concerns may be removed without notice.
