Mount Olivet Cemetery was founded in 1907. It was the first perpetual care cemetery in Fort Worth and remains the final resting place for many people. Mount Olivet blends the older section with the newer section seamlessly.
Driving in the entrance, an ornamental globe greets visitors. Navigating through the cemetery is simple. Painted on the curb surrounding each area is the name of the area.
The oldest section is located towards the back. The markers become more ornate as you progress that way.
Mount Olivet contains 594 victims of the 1918 flu epidemic that struck Fort Worth.
