- EGEli GurneyAug 18, 20245.0Beautiful Cemetery. If you love and/or are interested in Brigham Young—or are visiting Temple Square—this is a must see!
- JJJessOct 26, 20225.0Lugar excelente! Repleto de flores, monumentos, bancos, uma pequena praça com plantas que transmite reverência, paz e tranquilidade. O cemitério é um lugar pequeno e histórico de 150 anos que fica a poucos metros do templo de Salt Lake. Belo lugar para tirar fotos, revivenciar a história do presidente Young. Lugar onde a presença do Espírito Santo emana verdade, luz e respeito pelos mortos que fizeram grande parte na história de Utah. Parabéns pelo local.
- MMmattctrJan 3, 20225.0Update: As of Oct 24, 2022, the Cemetary has been renovated and rededicated. I assume it is accessible again. Looks beautiful in the photos. Little pocket park with benches, trees, and ornamental fence surrounding this historic burial ground. Brigham Young was buried here, along with some of his family. Here's hoping Zion will be redeemed soon, so we can meet the man again in the flesh—a resurrected being. Earlier review: As of January 2022, the park is fenced off and undergoing renovation. Not able to enter or access statues, grave markers, etc.
