Cypress Lawn acquired Olivet Gardens in 2020. Situated at the base of the San Bruno Mountains, with huge cypress and palm trees throughout, Mount Olivet — as it was originally named — opened in 1896, four years after Cypress Lawn. It was known as the “Cemetery of All Faiths.”
Behind it is a 3-acre plot of unmarked grass under a towering obelisk. Known as Laurel Hill Mound, this is the final resting place for approximately 35,000 San Francisco pioneers who were moved to Cypress Lawn from Laurel Hill Cemetery in 1940.
