We thank all who attended the Annual Mt. Olivet Family & Friends Meeting last September and again invite all families and friends to this year’s meeting on September 29, 2023, from 5:30 to 7pm. It’s an opportunity to get to better know one another, hear about what’s happening at the Cemetery, and provide input to help guide future improvements.
No reservations are required, but for planning purposes we’d appreciate your RSVP at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mt-olivet-family-friends-meeting-tickets-677620048807?aff=oddtdtcreator.


Annual Apple Festival Fun September 30, 2023
Supporting local families and the community is part of our ongoing mission, which is why Mt. Olivet is proud to be a part of the New Cumberland Olde Town Association’s Annual Apple Festival. It’s a wonderful way to further connect with our families and meet new friends. We hope you stop our tent to say hi.


Trinity Church 150th Celebration in 2023
Another example of our close relationship to the community… We’re proud that the Trinity Church congregation will be gathering at Mt. Olivet in August to celebrate their 150th Anniversary. The commemorative plaque located to the left as you drive up Park Drive into Mt. Olivet speaks to our special connection.

“Behind The Iron Gate”, a song about Mt. Olivet
We’re pleased to share this wonderful story and music written and performed by Rebecca Saylor, part of the Mt. Olivet family.
Hello,
My sister says we have 7 generations at Mt Olivet, and I believe my family epitomizes your mission statement about gathering- We gather there often. (INTERRED: Saurman, Dierich, Getz, Hoover, Danner, Wrightstone, Coble, Rupp, Hampshire, Williams, Breneman, Mast, Keller, Johnson, Shorter, Marshall…probably more…)
Just prior to my Fathers death and burial last year, I wrote a song about how I feel about my visits to Mt Olivet Cemetery, highlighting some of the vignettes of my personal connections because I was afraid my feelings might change when my Dad was gone.
I love the cemetery so much, I think you will hear why in my song.
Please enjoy.
Most Sincerely,
Rebecca Saylor
Behind The Iron Gate
