BLM seeks public comment on Pinedale’s proposed second cemetery

The current Pinedale Cemetery, located at 51 Fremont Lake Road, is more than 100 years old, with the first burial there in 1904. UGRCD representative Renne Reed said there are only about 28 lots left and the UGRCD has historically sold about 20 lots a year. A moratorium was previously put on the sale of the last lots. The Pinedale Cemetery currently consists of 17 acres and was expanded four times between 1975 and 1986, with the addition of a columbarium in 2020. A previous expectation to expand across Fremont Lake Road was scrapped once the plans to build the new critical access hospital at the existing clinic site were put into place.
