Most dead bodies are NOT dangerous. What you need to know to care for, transport and view your dead with without fear. Cuerpos muertos El peligro que no existe “We have not at any point prescribed embalming as a method of protecting public health.” - Bernadette Burden, spokesperson for the CDC, Atlanta, Georgia published in mortuary management magazine 2008 Solid Logic Dead Bodies and Disease: The “Danger” That Doesn’t Exist NO hay ninguna ley que prohíba una visita sin embalsamamiento. Sin embargo, los directores de funerarias que contrate pueden establecer sus propias reglas. Así que si quieres una visita sin embalsamar, compare precios para encontrar un director de funeraria que esté familiarizado y se sienta cómodo con eso. ...o rehusarse a contratar a un director de funeraria y hacer un velorio por su cuenta. ...o celebrar un velorio (que es un velatorio con el ataúd cerrado). Citas de salud pública y seguridad de https://www.greenburialcouncil.org/science_green_burial.html Lo que dicen los expertos sobre el riesgo de infección por cadáveres: "... la preocupación de que los cadáveres sean infecciosos puede considerarse una reacción 'natural' de las personas que desean protegerse de las enfermedades", aunque "el riesgo que los cuerpos (que murieron en un desastre natural) representan para el público es extremadamente pequeño". —Pan Organización Americana de la Salud (OPS) “La transmisión de la infección requiere la presencia de un agente infeccioso, la exposición a ese agente y un huésped susceptible... El cuerpo humano es huésped de muchos organismos, de los cuales solo algunos son patógenos. Cuando el cuerpo muere, el entorno en el que viven los patógenos ya no puede sostenerlos. Los microorganismos involucrados en el proceso de descomposición (putrefacción) no son patógenos...” —OPS “… puede ocurrir la transmisión de agentes infecciosos de un cadáver a una persona viva. Los peligros infecciosos para las personas que manipulan cadáveres de forma rutinaria incluyen tuberculosis, infección por estreptococos del grupo A, gastroenteritis, encefalopatías espongiformes transmisibles (como la enfermedad de Creutzfeldt-Jakob), hepatitis B, hepatitis C, infección por VIH y posiblemente meningitis y septicemia (especialmente meningocócica)”. —OPS “Históricamente, las epidemias que resultaron en víctimas masivas solo se han producido por unas pocas enfermedades, como la peste, el cólera, la fiebre tifoidea, la tuberculosis, el ántrax y la viruela... es probable que tales infecciones no estén presentes en las víctimas de desastres que en la población general. Además, aunque algunas de estas enfermedades son altamente contagiosas, sus agentes causales no pueden sobrevivir mucho tiempo en el cuerpo humano después de la muerte... Por lo tanto, es poco probable que tales epidemias resulten del contacto con un cadáver. De hecho, los sobrevivientes representan un reservorio mucho más importante para la enfermedad…” —Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) “Los cuerpos humanos muertos o descompuestos generalmente no crean un peligro grave para la salud, a menos que estén contaminando las fuentes de agua potable con materia fecal, o estén infectados con la peste o el tifus, en cuyo caso pueden estar infestados con las pulgas o piojos que propagan estos enfermedades. Por lo tanto, en la mayoría de las situaciones de emergencia más pequeñas o menos agudas, las familias pueden llevar a cabo todas las actividades necesarias después de una muerte...” —OMS, con respecto a los entierros masivos en emergencias “…la mera presencia de un cadáver sin tener en cuenta su estado embalsamado y que no está goteando sangre de una herida abierta o perforación, no representa un mayor riesgo [de salud] de transmisión de enfermedades infecciosas para la persona que podría manipular ese cuerpo o revíselo en un ambiente privado. Una vez que un ser humano muere, los agentes infecciosos que serían motivo de preocupación, incluidos los que se encuentran en la piel o los órganos internos del individuo, disminuyen considerablemente... simplemente no existe un riesgo medible de que ese cuerpo transmita un agente infeccioso..." —Dr. Michael Osterholm, Centro de Política e Investigación de Enfermedades Infecciosas (CID) Se ha demostrado que el cadáver promedio no presenta riesgos para la salud pública cuando se lo cuida adecuadamente y en un tiempo razonable. Sin embargo, el miedo a los riesgos para la salud asociados con los cadáveres en condiciones extremas no carece de mérito. El ébola y Creutzfeldt-Jakob son dos condiciones peligrosas que descalifican el entierro como medio de disposición. ¿Quieres profundizar en los detalles? https://funerals.org/?consumers=dead-bodies-disease-danger-doesnt-exist (Hay saltos de página, pero siga desplazándose hacia abajo, ¡hay tantas cosas buenas!)

Every detail you need to care for your own dead in Utah without a funeral director. From filing paperwork to transporting a body from a care facility and coordinating directly with a cemetery or crematory, in easy to follow steps. Step-by-Step Instructions for a DIY, Home Funeral, Family Directed Funeral Can Do BEFORE a Death: 1) If you don't know what all the choices are for a funeral use our funeral planning worksheet to help you paint a full picture of what you'd like to occur. Note: If you make your own funeral plans you are better prepared to help others. 2) Appoint an Agent to Control Disposition and/or a Dispositioner. Utah law [Utah code 58-9-601 & 58-9-602 ] allows adults to appoint one person to be their “Agent to Control Disposition of Remains”. An Agent has first priority over next-of-kin, in matters of after-deathcare decisions. You may use the Agent to Control Disposition Form.pdf to assign a person. After death occurs this Agent is authorized to assign someone else, or themselves, to be “The Dispositioner”: A Dispositoner goes to the Health Department to apply for a Death Certificate (DC) and Burial Transit Permit (BTP) and attends the body to the place of final disposition (cemetery or crematory). 3) Start the Proper Paper Work Go to https://vitalrecords.health.utah.gov/death , scroll down the page to "File A Death Record" and click on "the death record processing form.” to download it. They title the form: “Dispositioner Worksheet for completing a Death Record”. Unfortunately the State made it a Word doc too, so for accessibility here it is as a PDF . Don’t wait to START filling it out. The form helps you to gather the information that will be needed by the Office of Vital Records. (Make note of their open hours. Not all are open daily. Often there is more than one branch in each county, with different open-hours). Call and inform the Registrar that you plan to “file a Death Record as a Dispositioner" instead of hiring a funeral home. Some Registrars let you bring in the completed “Dispositioner Worksheet" before death occurs so they can start the data entry and check your i.d. as the acting Dispositioner. That way you only need to call them with the “time of death”, then make one trip back down there to pay and pick up your permits. This is especially helpful when death occurs over a weekend or after-hours. 4) Start building or buying a casket or body board "A leakproof container" is stated in the law as being required to transport a body. Leakproof does not mean a box or bag that can be turned into a swimming pool. Leakproof means you won't get bodily fluids trailing you wherever you bring the body. The goal is to make transport through public spaces modest, leak-free & smell-free. (The sooner in the first 24 hrs that cooling the body begins the less likely there will be any smell.) To make initial transport of a body from a care facility easier, gather: -A board with handles . Ask to use the facilities' gurney if you don’t have enough people to carry your board loaded. -Two people is enough to slide a board or casket into a vehicle. -2" thick-cardboard or pvc tubes at least 18" long. Place the casket on the tube(s) and the loaded board/casket will roll right in. -Two cloth sheets & one plastic sheet: a) First wrap deceased in Cloth Sheet. Cloth is helpful because if seepage begins it can be identified and taken care of, whereas a plastic body bag by itself can allow spread all over the body, as well as build up heat and smells. b) Slip a Cloth Sheet under body for lifting: Here's a 3 min video demonstrating using a sheet to lift a body as a team . c) A Plastic sheeting ( for example a dollar store shower curtain) for possibility of seepage (more likely with unexpected death, recent surgery, obesity). Place the cloth-wrapped body on top of the plastic sheet then fold the plastic over top of the body. This is very warm so either plan to be wrapped only short time or plan to cool body during transport. -A thicker covering (such as a quilt) to drape over the wrapped-body for transporting through public spaces. If picking up from the Office of the Medical Examiner (OME) it will be easier to move the body in and out of the vehicle if you bring a body board or casket. You will drive your vehicle right into their transport bay. The body will be in one of their commercial body bags. They do not want DIYers to open the bag (or have a viewing without a mortuary helping you after an autopsy). You will still need to keep the body cold until final disposition (cremation or burial). 5) Gather the knowledge you need to take care of a body after death. A dead body is treated with the same modesty and dignity as any live person who is bed-ridden. Here are tips on how-to move a body, prevention for seepage of body fluids and other logistics: http://www.crossings.net/resources.html (the 1st paragraph follow the link: “to view a free summary on home funeral care”) Videos: Lifting the Body (3 min) Moving a body (15 seconds each) thru doors and into vehicles Part 2 — Washing the Head, Face, and Mouth (11min), Part 3 — Washing the Body (9min, the body should be draped modestly as you would a live bedridden person, but they didn't for the video), Part 4 — Dressing the Body (6min includes closing eyes & mouth), Part 5 — Final Preparations (8min includes casketing or wrapping in a shroud) In reading/watching those primers remember you don’t have to do things you find uncomfortable. You can alter instructions to fit your needs. A good award-winning movie you can rent (demonstrates the modesty with which body prep can be done): “Departures” . Within a couple hours of death there are marked signs of stiffening of the body, called rigor mortis. So the first couple of hours is an opportunity to close the eyes and mouth, clean disposable undergarment area, dress the body if desired, and place arms and hands where you want them. After 24-48 hrs you get a lesser chance as the muscles begin to relax again (which is a sign of decomposition). Keeping the body cool slows down these processes. See our COOLING A BODY page, summarized here: -About 16 lbs of dry ice/day are needed to keep an average adult between 33 to 40 degrees. Dry ice is purchased at most grocery stores. Using thick gloves, wrap the dry ice in a paper bag then cloth and place about the body. A room/or vehicle must be ventilated because of the carbon dioxide dry ice releases. -Another option is re-freezable ice packs. -When the temp outside is below 40 degrees, an open window in a separate room or garage may substitute for dry ice. Keeping a thermometer in or near the casket is advised. 6) Let the Doctor/Hospice/Hospital/Vital Records Registrar know as-soon-as-possible that “Family will be acting as their own Dispositioner”. The Doctor/Hospice/Hospital/Registrar may not have a clear written policy on how to deal with you. Therefore confused and scared employees may need some runway to get oriented and be helpful. Tips to make initial transport of a body from a care facility easier: -What to bring and why -Ways_hospital_staff_can_support_home_funeral_families 7) If planning whole body burial, look up cemetery policies and procedure. If you prefer burial in a non-commercial or rural cemetery, get permission from a contact person for that cemetery. For a list of those in Utah go to https://history.utah.gov/cemeteries/ click on “find a cemetery”. If you prefer burial on your own private rural property there are no State Regulations in Utah but there are County Ordinances (see our cemetery page for the 3 counties with restrictions). There are no Cities that allow private-property burial within city limits. 8) Begin Writing a Program for a Funeral or Memorial Service If a program is desired there are lots of templates online. You can write it up and insert pictures beforehand (leaving the date of death blank). Have AT LEAST two people review it before printing. Can't Do UNTIL After a Death: 9) When an Expected Death Occurs (see in a flow chart) : Home death is the best situation: Call the Hospice you are working with or the attending physician (if seen within 30 days), otherwise call the non-emergency phone # of your local law enforcement agency. Hospital death: Let the Doctor and nurses know asap (even before death) that you will NOT be using a funeral director. You will need to get the Death Certificate and Burial Transit Permit, BEFORE moving the body. The hospital should have a cold storage location/morgue to hold the body until you acquire proper paperwork, but usually does not hold many bodies. Remind them that your loved one is a priority because funeral homes can pick up quickly whereas by state law you cannot. When Unexpected Death Occurs (see in a flow chart) : If a Medical Examiner takes the body for an autopsy. this buys you time. The M.E. may begin the Death Certificate process and may even issue your Burial Transit Permit (not sure). 10) Go to the Vital Records Office of the Health Department of the County where death occurred for the Registrar to perform the data entry of the Vital Records Form you filled out. Bring with you: a) That completed Death Record Form b) Your i.d. (you are the “Dispositioner”) c) The ability to pay the data entry fee: most counties $100 during business hrs. Utah county charges according to how long it takes the registrar to enter the data or $75, a couple counties don’t charge extra (some counties supposedly charge $300 for after-hours weekend/holiday service), Burial Transit Permit (BTP): $157, 1st death certificate: $30, Extra copies of the Death Cert: $10, You will want the Death Certificate sooner than the legal 5 days because though a funeral director can transport a body and arrange publication of an obituary; you, without the DC and BTP in hand, cannot do either of those things. The body can be moved after the Vital Records Registrar hands you the Death Certificate and Burial Transit Permit. If the signing Doctor (who has 3 days to sign) is on the Electronic Death Entry Network (EDEN), it is faster to get the Doctor to sign than if the paperwork has to be brought to the Doctor. 11) Choose a right-sized vehicle. A van (with back seats down) or pick-up truck, or even an SUV are ideal options for transporting a body in a casket. Dimensions for your make and model can be found online to confirm the measurements are adequate. 11.5) In Steps 4-6 you gathered supplies and knowledge for how to move & prepare a body. Now you will do it. 12) Notify cemetery or crematory as to time of your arrival. If the cemetery requires you buy a graveliner (same as a vault, just cheaper) you can buy one directly from a vault/monument company. Beesley Monument Company in Provo, UT is glad to serve family acting as their own Dispositioner, and will give you the same wholesale price they give the funeral homes. Beesley only charges mileage if delivery is outside of 50 miles. (Vault or Grave liner comes with the lowering device and other graveside accouterments like grass, chairs and awning. Ask to make sure). 13) Plan with clergy or officiant (if you desire their participation) & Secure venues. Even a standard front parlor room is excellent for an open house viewing or visitation: • Viewing (body is visible) or visitation (body is not visible: closed casket, or body not present) • Funeral (body is present) or memorial (body is not present) • Final disposition (burial, cremation, aquamation) 14) Acquire a Veterans’ Flag if the deceased received DD214 discharge papers. To get a flag fill out form 27-2008 at: https://www.va.gov/burials-memorials/memorial-items/burial-flags/ After death bring form to the post office or go to a Regional VA office to receive the flag. Sometimes a Veterans cemetery will arrange the flag for you. Free burial at Veterans' Cemeteries include grave, opening and closing, marker, and setting. Burial of a spouse of a Veteran costs under $1k for plot. Both require purchase of your own grave liner (see step 12) 15) Finalize Death Notice or Obituary. Typically Obituaries cost at least $400 and average $1500. Send your write-up and picts online to the newspaper with the Death Certificate. Some papers allow you to publish a minimum obit, adding more words and photos after the funeral for free. A death notice in the paper can be $0 to $100. Some newspapers offer an "online only" obit for, like $79. Online Obituary sites that help you build, share and host a permanent obituary: -https://www.obituare.com/ for $99. -This Obituary website hosts obits and can also send it to be published in ANY newspaper in the country: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/utah for $149 & up 16) Prepare the body for casketing: See step #7 instructions & videos. 17) Check for accuracy of ceremony address & cemetery address by copying into a map app. Delegate a person(s) to notify friends & family of the finalized place and times. (You need a social media savvy person and a phone calling/texting person) 18) Finalize Funeral Program & Greeter Assignments Find a template online, download, edit & print one. Have a couple people proofread it,. Then print the quantity you need. Assign greeters to hand them to attendees. It's also heartwarming to see a neatly dressed man at the preferred entry door, to direct traffic and help people in. 19) Prepare place of ceremony & Transport body &/or Transport photos, flowers and memorabilia. Set up a table for the casket to rest on, or plan to have it on the floor. When choosing a table consider the weight of the casket & if a tablecloth will be needed). You don’t need a casket dolly to move the casket through a building. Since small doorways can be awkward, Pallbearers should practice before people start arriving. Note on Transporting Out-of-State: Utah Funeral Directors are required by their licensure to embalm before they take a body across state lines. Dispositioners are NOT subject to Licensure Rules so you don't need the body embalmed to cross state lines. If the body is shipped by common carrier (such as plane, or train) several states require either embalming *or* a sealed casket. However, this is rarely enforced and funeral homes in those states will routinely ship unembalmed bodies (Jewish or Muslim clients, for example). Remember: The CDC has consistently maintained that embalming is not a method of protecting public health .

We quote the sections of Utah State Code that show you don't need to be licensed to conduct any part of a funeral. Family (or Authorized Agents) who are "Acting as Dispositioner" are NOT Required to be Licensed! Utah Code 58-9-305 Exemptions from licensure a person may engage in the following acts included within the definition of the practice of funeral service, subject to the stated circu mstances and limitations, without being licensed under this chapter: (1) transportation of a dead human body in accordance with other applicable state and federal laws; (2) ambulance or other emergency transportation of a dead human body; (3) the sale of any of the following that is delivered to the buyer or the buyer's designee within 90 days after the day of the sale: (a) funeral merchandise; (b) headstones; or (c) other memorial merchandise; (4) the performance of funeral, graveside, or memorial services by: (a) a member of the clergy; (b) a member of the decedent's family; or (c) any other recognized individual; (5) assisting a Utah licensed funeral service director regarding disasters or special emergencies by individuals licensed in other states... (6) activities of an unlicensed individual employed by a funeral service establishment... (7) nonprofessional tasks or activities which: (a) do not require independent professional judgment; and (b) are required of persons employed by a funeral service establishment under the supervision of a funeral service director. Amended by Chapter 144 , 2007 General Session Why pay $400 & up for a mortuary to be present at your chapel for a visitation? and $400 & up for the funeral? and $400 & up at the graveside? If you can conduct a meeting you can do these things yourselves. To transport a body from a hospital you must carry it using something that will not leak bodily fluids. A casket, or cloth sheets with plastic sheeting & body boar d are two ways to do this. When you transport a body that's been declared dead you must possess a burial transit permit: Instructions If you do not receive remuneration then you are performing nonprofessional tasks.

Fatter and longer tubes are better than the skinny 1.5", foot long tubes we were experimenting with this time in the Subaru. A 2" pvc pipe, about 18" long would've worked better.

The history of the Salt Lake City Cemetery is fascinating. Their website is phenomenal, and their master plan inspiring. County Land Use Wording Solutions Issues with Current County wording "Cemetery/ Crematoriums- A burial place or grounds owned, operated and maintained by a municipality with endowment care feasibility and disallowed for private persons or entities in all Sanpete County zones." : 1) Combining cemetery and crematorium is inaccurate and misleading, since Utah law regulates crematories separately (under funeral service licensing). 2) Endowment care (a perpetual care trust fund) is a specific statutory term that applies to certain commercial cemeteries. Calling the funding “feasible” is a way to get around actually funding “perpetual” care. So stating simply “owned and maintained by a municipality or cemetery maintenance district.”, would be sufficient and less confusing. Our Suggested Model Ordinance Language Definitions Cemetery – A burial place or grounds that may be: (1) Municipal Cemetery: Owned and maintained by a municipality or cemetery maintenance district; OR (2) Private Natural Cemetery: Established by private persons or entities on private property located outside municipal boundaries and within the unincorporated areas of the county, provided that: No embalming fluid is used; Remains are placed in a biodegradable casket or natural shroud, and covered by at least 18 inches and not more than 4 feet of soil above the top of the container or shroud; No burial vault is used; Only natural markers such as native stones, shrubs, or flush ground-level markers are permitted; The landscape is maintained in keeping with the local environment; Each burial is located at least 150 feet from any water source, 50 feet from any property line and precautions have been taken to avoid gas and other utility lines; Located only on parcels of at least ½ acre. Burials shall not exceed 10% of the parcel unless otherwise authorized by the County Commission; The cemetery plat and burial records are filed with the County Recorder in accordance with Utah Code § 8-3-1, and each individual burial shall also be recorded with accompanying GPS coordinates for accurate location; The next-of-kin pre-authorizes that future property owners may relocate the remains, provided all Utah Department of Health procedures for disinterment and re-interment are followed, including proper registration of the new location. Purpose The purpose of this ordinance is to recognize and regulate private cemeteries in a manner consistent with Utah Code Title 8. The County affirms the right of individuals and families to establish burial grounds on private property located outside municipal boundaries, while protecting public health, water quality, and appropriate landscape. These provisions ensure that private cemeteries remain ecologically sound, properly recorded, and respectful of future land use, thereby providing families with lawful burial options and clear safeguards. Tax Break for a Private Cemetery? There is a rumor that a land owner doesn't pay taxes anymore if a body is buried on their rural private land. Nope. Bottom line (based on Utah Code §59-2-1101): A few family burials on rural land = property still taxable. If not also used for private purposes, a formally established nonprofit cemetery = property may qualify for exemption. Public Education/Cautions -At least 3 days before digging call 811 to schedule identification of gas line and other buried utility lines. Or submit request online at https://www.bluestakes.org/how-it-works/ -Neighbors may not like being even 50 ft from buried dead bodies. The minimum lot size assures the neighbor’s house to be a little farther from a cemetery, especially when the neighbor is likely also on a 1/2 acre or more. -Future Access to Remains The land may fall into stranger's hands in the future, or a future occupant may simply have a conflict with their own kin and try to forbid access to them. Municipal burial solves access issues. General Property Law (Utah Code Title 57, Chapter 1: Conveyances): Access to private graves is often treated as an implied easement for descendants (e.g., right to visit without disturbing the property). See Utah case law like Carrier v. Lindquist (2001 UT 105), which recognizes private easements over public ways but extends to burial sites via necessity. While not exclusively about cemeteries, it provides a framework for implied easements that courts may apply to grave access disputes. A1930 case related to the subject: Crandall v. Crandall (1930, 78 Utah 487, 5 P.2d 221) Citation: Crandall v. Crandall, 78 Utah 487, 5 P.2d 221 (Utah 1930). Facts: This older case involved a property dispute where a family cemetery was located on land transferred between family members. The issue centered on whether rights to the cemetery (including access) were retained after the land sale. Holding: The Utah Supreme Court recognized that burial plots carry unique legal status, often implying reserved rights for family members to access and maintain them, even after a property transfer. The court suggested that an implied easement could exist for family members to access a cemetery, based on the intent of the original landowner and the ongoing need to honor the deceased. Relevance to Graves: Crandall establishes that Utah courts view cemeteries as distinct from typical real property, with access rights often preserved for descendants via implied agreements or easements. This case supports the argument that access to a private grave cannot be wholly denied without violating the intent behind the burial site’s creation. Application: If a landowner denies access to a family cemetery, Crandall can be cited to argue that the original intent (e.g., perpetual access for family) creates an implied easement, especially if the cemetery predates the current ownership. -If a Future Owner Wants to Remove Remains : Utah Code § 26B-8-121 — Certificate of death … Permit for disinterment This statute says a permit for disinterment and reinterment is required prior to disinterment of a dead body, dead fetus, or fetal remains, except as otherwise provided by statute or department rule. Utah Legislature+1 It also governs registration of death certificates, burial-transit permits, etc. Utah Legislature+1 Utah Administrative Code R436-8-5 — Authorization for Disinterment and Reinterment Requires a written application signed by the next of kin and by the person in charge of the disinterment, or a court order.

Legal Information Institute Utah Admin. Code R436-8-6 — Penalties for Disinterment without Authorization, etc. States that disinterment or reinterment without proper authorization is a violation, subject to penalties. Legal Information Institute To examine the original intent of municipal cemeteries, this history of the Salt Lake City Cemetery is fascinating. Their website is phenomenal, and their master plan inspiring: https://www.slcdocs.com/council/WebDoc/Cemetery_Master_Plan/Final_Draft.pdf Master Plan Executive Summary The Salt Lake City Cemetery had its first burial in 1848 and officially opened in 1849. It was one of a number of cemeteries developed during the rural cemetery movement (also known as the garden cemetery movement). The rural or garden cemetery movement began in 1831 with the development of Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge Massachusetts with a focus on burial grounds that use landscaping in a park-like setting. Rural cemeteries, from their beginning, were intended as civic institutions designed for public use. These cemeteries were “the first public parks in America” (Clark, 2015). Many factors led to a shift from the role cemeteries played as public parks, resulting in reduced visitation and interest in cemeteries. More recently, communities have been forced to rethink their approach to cemetery operations and management as these early cemeteries experience dwindling capacity, limited expansion opportunity, and funding challenges. As a result, many communities have started to recognize the value cemeteries provide as unique open spaces, and in a return to early cemetery history, have started offering events, tours, and passive recreation opportunities, in addition to burials. The Salt Lake City Cemetery is facing the same challenges experienced by other cemeteries from the rural cemetery era. It too, is exploring ideas and opportunities to capitalize on the Cemetery as a valuable community open space. Precedent Study of Cemetery Uses In an effort to identify opportunities and ideas that may help address challenges facing the Salt Lake City Cemetery, a comparison of various activities and uses at other cemeteries were documented (see Figure 1.7 in Chapter 1). Though all of the activities listed in the comparison may not be desired or determined appropriate for the Salt Lake City Cemetery, this comparison identifies a broad range of activities that take place at cemeteries across the country and could be implemented at the Salt Lake City Cemetery, if desired. Some of these activities include: § Wildlife watching § Walking and jogging § Biking § Star gazing § Guided and self-guided tours § Cultural and historic interpretation § Photography § Genealogical research § Events or classes § Arboretum Vision and Goals As part of the planning process, the planning team used the information gathered during the analysis and assessment phase, input from the community, and worked with City staff and stakeholder groups to develop the Master Plan Vision and identify planning goals. Goals were developed to address the three main purposes of the Master Plan. The Master Planning Goals were then prioritized based on input received from two public open houses and Open City Hall. The 5 highest priority goals are as follows: § Preserve and enhance the natural resources in the Cemetery (i.e. trees and vegetation, wildlife, wildlife habitat, and views). § Create a comprehensive strategy to repair Cemetery infrastructure including roads and maintenance facilities. § Incorporate sustainable maintenance practices, especially those that have the potential to reduce ongoing maintenance costs. § Enhance and develop opportunities to explore the Cemetery through walking, jogging and cycling. § Develop opportunities to continue to provide burial and internment offerings.
