What is in This Collection?

This collection contains cemetery records from the Crown Hill Cemetery in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. The collection was created from a survey of the cemetery made by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1952. At that time the cemetery was in an unincorporated part of Jefferson County, and Denver was the largest nearby major city. The city of Wheat Ridge was incorporated in 1969.

Additional records and/or images may be added to this collection in the future.

I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now?

  • Collect entries for every person who has the same surname. This list can help you identify possible relationships that can be verified by records
  • If you cannot locate your ancestor in the locality in which you believe they lived, try searching records of a nearby locality
