Cemetery

After over 120 years of the Town of Frisco operating the Frisco Cemetery, the last available plot has been sold. On April 23, 2025, the determination was made that the Frisco Cemetery has no more plots available for sale. The Town of Frisco is able to buy back any unused plots from those families and individuals whose burial plans have changed, which may result in the possibility of plots being available again in the future.

The Frisco Cemetery is owned and administered by the Town of Frisco with Frisco’s Town Clerk and Public Works Department working together to manage all aspects of the Frisco Cemetery. The cemetery is located at 35 Marina Road in Frisco, Colorado.

Town staff are available to assist with any cemetery needs, including buying back any unused cemetery plots if burial plans have changed.

Online Burial Search

The online burial search contains the most up-to-date information for the Frisco Cemetery.

Step 1: View Code, Rules & Regulations

The high alpine environment of the Rocky Mountains at elevations over 9,000 feet brings unique constraints, especially regarding when burials are possible, as well as the restrictions on maintenance levels and “rugged” nature of many plots. Winter weather from November and potentially into late April can make burials impossible to extremely challenging due to ground temperatures and snow levels. Please start a conversation with Town staff in order to understand how and when needs can be accommodated.

Step 2: View the Map

The Frisco Cemetery map is available in an aerial view and please note that the legend in the lower right hand corner of the map. As of April 2025, there are no more plots available for purchase.

Step 3: Order a Plot or Plots to Purchase

As of April 2025, there are no more cemetery plots available at the Frisco Cemetery. If any plot(s) become available because current owners make other plans, the Town will reactivate the online purchase form here.

Step 4: Schedule an Interment

An interment needs to be scheduled when a cemetery plot is needed for the burial of a loved one. Please fill out the cemetery interment request form online with as much detail as possible to begin this process.

If not already completed, please apply for headstone/monument approval. This is required prior to installation of any type of headstone/marker/monument due to the need to assess space, safety, and installation needs. A refundable deposit of $500 is required prior to interment.

Frisco Cemetery History

The exact date when the Frisco Cemetery was established is uncertain; in the 1890s, John D. Hynderliter began allowing the Town of Frisco to use a section of land on his ranch at the then-outskirts of Frisco as a cemetery. Portions of the cemetery have been left in their natural state, while other sections are more manicured and maintained by the Town. The cemetery has twenty-seven blocks; three of which are reserved for the Deming, Lund, and Thomas/Mogee families in the natural area.

It is surmised that most of the earliest and unmarked graves are where miners, prostitutes, and paupers were buried. In 1951, an uproar erupted in the town when newcomer Emil Slovak claimed that a half-acre of the cemetery was on his ranch. He then erected a barbed-wire fence on what he determined was his property line and threatened to dig up the graves on his side of the fence. After a legal battle with Frisco town officials, Slovak lost his case, and he eventually sold his ranch. Frisco Cemetery history provided by Frisco Historic Park and Museum staff.
