Mount Olivet Cemetery

About

Mount Olivet is one of the most beautiful, historic and patriotic cemeteries in Maryland. Burial options range from in-ground to mausoleum burials.

Description

Mount Olivet Cemetery is located in Historic Frederick, Maryland and home to the gravesites of Francis Scott Key, Barbara Fritchie, Governor Thomas Johnson (the first governor of the state of Maryland), and many other notables. Known as "The Cemetery Beautiful," Mount Olivet was begun in 1852 as part of the rural, or "garden," cemetery movement. It is a privately-owned, not-for-profit cemetery and provides in-ground and mausoleum burials featuring crypts and niches. In addition to family and friends of loved ones interred here, we proudly welcome tourists, history enthusiasts, genealogists and reverent recreationalists.

What a historic cemetery. It starts with the burial place of Francis Scott Key many war veterans. The cemetery is very large and well marked. The grounds are immaculate. So everyone who visits needs to keep it that way. There is a large map at the entrance showing burial sites as well as a computer to find what or who you are looking for. There are also very clean restrooms and a small chapel. The property is privately owned and is a working cemetery, however, they make it welcome to all visitors. There is a cemetery office on site at the entrance in a Victorian home. This property, located in the city of Frederick is so quiet and peaceful. It is truly a historic gem of Frederick!
A great example of the old time garden style cemetery. Absolutely beautiful and just a prime example of a pristine picturesque property. Of course you can see the graves of Francis Scott Key, Barbara Fritchie and Thomas Johnson but there is also a throw back to the days before the constitution was the law of the land. The first president of the US under the articles of confederation is buried here and his wife, president and Mrs John Hanson. They have a sad story for sure and and very much worth a stop there to see them!
This historic cemetery is a good place to visit. Francis Scott Key is buried here and many of the headstones are more than a hundred years old. The Civil War graves are lined up along the back fence and when I realized how many there were, it took my breath away. This place is a history lesson.
My grandmother was buried here and a headstone was paid for. It never went on her grave. We have now paid again 2 years ago and her headstone is still not on her grave. Everyone should know in their grief to keep records, or they will keep your money and not use it for your loved ones memory as they should.
The grave was right inside the gate and I found a little area to park in. The grave is a monument with a statue of Key on top. A billboard next to the grave had a button that plays the Star Spangled Banner.
In my opinion that Mount Olive cemetery is the best. Just wish they would take care of the markers better. My daughter was buried in baby land 1990 and I don't have a tombstone yet but I found her name plate buried a foot down in the dirt other than that I like Mount Olive cemetery people are very friendly.
Beautiful cemetery, incredible history, not always maintained well, but a nice relaxing environment. Sadly if you want to see where the population of color was buried in Frederick, check out the Laboring Sons memorial park.
Mount Olivet Cemetery is a cemetery on a hill with views. Walk to the top and spin around. You'll see the U.S. Capitol and Washington Monument in one direction and Ivy City and the Basilica in another. It's breathtaking. Beyond the views there's much to see and experience at this historic cemetery. First of all, it's the oldest Catholic cemetery in the city. Secondly, it's the final resting place of people who served in politics, but also assassins and spies. Randomly, the first person to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge is buried here too. After you pay your respects, walk to either Mother Rucker's for subs or over to Ivy City for the breweries and distilleries.
Yes, I realize it's a big graveyard! The place is beautiful! Serene and very well kept! I walk through every day on my way to work! Fastest route to work I was skeptical about going through at first but I have much respect for all the souls and families that have their loved ones there and I wouldn't go any other way! I can feel the love every day emanating from Mt. Olivet!!
Living out of town makes it hard to tend to a grave here. BUT, they do an exceptional job keeping my dad's site clean and neat. Best of all, Rick Reeder is always helpful about placing something there for us when requested. He provides amazing customer service for the loved ones of the one buried here!
