Mount Olive Cemetery stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of those who rest within its peaceful and beautiful grounds. The City of Pittsburg’s Parks and Recreation Department takes great pride in providing a tranquil final resting place, where the community’s history is etched into the landscape. Toby Book, the director of the City of Pittsburg Parks & Recreation, highlights the significance of this cemetery. He mentioned, “I still get a lot of requests from families out of state to bring the remains or cremains back to this cemetery to be buried where they’re from, to be back in their community for their final resting place.” For many families, Mount Olive Cemetery represents more than just a place of rest; it’s a connection to their roots and a cherished final destination. The city is appreciative of the natural beauty within the cemetery, which is meticulously maintained by a local landscaping company.
