Archdiocese of Denver Cemeteries

From the earliest times, the Catholic Church has participated in the burial of her beloved dead.  Cemeteries are rooted in ancient religious rituals and customs of reverence for the dead.  We serve as a symbol of the extended community of the Church, a community unbroken by death, andlike the sacrament of the Eucharist, celebrate the death and resurrection of the Lord which offers to us the promise of eternal life. Mount Olivet Cemetery has stood for over 118 years and St. Simeon Cemetery for more than 8 years.
