Washington City (Utah) Cemetery burial permits, 1963-1991

This series contains burial permits and burial transit permits for people buried in the Washington City cemetery. The city sexton created these permits granting permission for burial and the forms typically include the name of the person to be buried, his or her age, date and place of death, place of birth, and sometimes the cause of death, occupation, name of the deceased's parents, and other biographical details. The forms were part of documentation required by the state for the transit and disposition of human remains. There are a handful of obituary clippings from newspapers documenting the deaths of individuals along with the burial permit.
