As a friendly reminder, our cemetery grounds and gardens are mowed and maintained on a rotating schedule. Because this schedule varies, we are unable to provide specific dates for when individual gardens will be serviced.

We kindly ask families who place flowers or other memorial items at gravesites to be aware that these items may be removed and respectfully disposed of during routine maintenance. Decorations placed in permanent vases will remain in place unless they have become withered, faded, or damaged by the weather.

We sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to preserve the beauty, peace, and dignity of our cemetery for all who visit. Thank you for helping us keep our sacred grounds a place of comfort and remembrance.

Wishing you all a safe and happy 4th of July!

Two of our cemeteries – Mount Olivet Kansas City and Resurrection - offer two beautiful memorials dedicated to Veterans and First Responders. The memorials are part of our Legacy Garden, which provide free grave space to veterans and first responders. Our cemeteries recognize the sacrifices given by our veterans and first responders, who serve both locally and abroad. The beautiful memorials are made from laser etched black granite and are surrounded by service flags to honor the various branches of military, police, and fire personnel. A free grave space in the Legacy Garden is available to any honorably discharged veteran, active-duty military, and first responders including police, fire and EMS personnel. Adjacent spaces are available for purchase for spouses. Please call Mount Olivet Cemetery Kansas City at (816) 353-1900 for details regarding the benefits available.
