Large
shrubs, trees, flowers and a less formal atmosphere than the
Orchard Mesa municipal cemeteries, Crown Point Cemetery located
at 945 23 1/2 Road, offers a quiet serene setting for eternal
remembrance. It was officially platted in 1907 and at that
time owned by the Crown Point Cemetery Company. In 1970 ownership
was transferred to the Mesa County Veterans Cemetery Association.
In 1981 the City of Grand Junction was petitioned to acquire
the cemetery and in 1982 the City Council approved the acquisition
of Crown Point Cemetery by virtue of a Quit Claim Deed. Containing
651 grave spaces, with many dating back to the 1850's and
over 25 veterans buried there, Crown Point Cemetery is a place
to remember the lost and to reflect the history and character
of the community.
Administrative services and sales
information can be obtained by visiting the municipal
cemetary at 263 26 1/4 Road; Monday - Friday from 8:00 a.m.
to 4:30 p.m. or by calling 244-1550. On site staff welcomes
visitors and provides care for those in need of burial arrangements.
