I am Visiting Nashville from California and was looking for something unique to see in the city. I…read morehave been to Nashville several times so I have been to most tourist sites. I saw a YouTube video on Mt Olivet Cemetery and thought it would be very interesting. I loved that the gravesites of prominent figures were marked and every time I saw a sign alerting us to a particular grave, we immediately took to google to investigate the person. You can find the original residents of the Belle Meade estate buried here as well as many confederate soldiers and high ranking civil war veterans. Also the gentleman who established Ryman Auditorium is buried here as well. We also saw many wild turkeys roaming the cemetery which I thought was odd but interesting. For all of the American history buffs out there, this should be a "must see"on your to do list here in Nashville.

Very disappointed with the service at Mount Olivet. When my mother died in November 2024, we took…read morethe time and chose the text and the font of the footstone for the family plot. As my father was swiftly declining, he wanted to visit the cemetery to see his wife's grave. It was heartbreaking to tell him that the footstone had not been delivered. When my sister contacted them again, they admitted they had not even prepared the papers to order the footstone. So last week they finally deliver the proof of my mother's foot, stone. How convenient as they have waited so long that my father now has died. Perhaps they will be able to finish both footstones at the same time. I've spoken to several friends who've had similar experiences with Mount Olivet. Waiting 5+ years for footstones to be prepared. If it were easy to dig up all of my family members and move them to another cemetery, I would.

Also, special learning sessions on GPR (ground penetration radar), period gardening and tombstone cleaning is offered. In October, they host nightly lantern tours as well as a Living History Tour as a fundraiser. The NCC is the best value in Nashville because it's FREE.

Nashville City Cemetery is the oldest continuously operated public cemetery in Nashville,…read moreTennessee. It has been opened since 1822 and in those over two hundred years, the Nashville City Cemetery has found itself the final resting spot for many of Nashville's prominent citizens. Included in those buried here are four of Nashville's first settlers, several men who fought in the Revolutionary A War, four Confederate generals, countless Nashville mayors, a Tennessee governor and many more. To walk through this cemetery is to walk through history. One thing that I enjoy about cemeteries is that I am walking amongst the final resting spots of people who lived their lives. They laughed, they cried, the enjoyed good times and bad times. Some died old, some young, but here they rest in their eternal slumber. I would definitely recommend a visit here. The pages of history were written by those who rest here.
