Olivenhain Cemetery

Exploring the Olivenhain Cemetery in Encinitas.

Also known as Olivenhain Pioneer Cemetery.
The first recorded burial in the Olivenhain Cemetery was in 1891. The cemetery is owned and maintained primarily by the descendants of the original settlers of the Olivenhain community.

For decades the cemetery was managed and maintained by volunteers. In 1971, the Olivenhain Cemetery Council was formed and incorporated. Due to the limited amount of usable land in the cemetery, all future burial sites are reserved for direct descendants and immediate family members of those already buried.
