Our History

Crescent Cemetery has been a part of the Sandy/Crescent community for over 145 years. Prior to 1962 it was owned and maintained by the Crescent 1st ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
In 1962 the cemetery was turned over to the state of Utah and organized as a Special Tax District which meant that local residents would support the maintenance of the cemetery with a portion of their property taxes.  The oldest grave we have record of in the cemetery is dated 1877.

The cemetery is managed by a 3 person board of directors.
