Explore Our Database
At the heart of Olivewood is the record of more than 4,000 burials. Our searchable database allows families, researchers, and community members to learn more about the men, women, and children interred here. With every name and story preserved, we continue the work of connecting descendants to their history and honoring those who came before us.
