Olinger Crown Hill Mortuary & Cemetary

Olinger Crown Hill Mortuary & Cemetery, located at 7777 West 29th Avenue in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, is a historic and comprehensive funeral, cremation, and cemetery provider that has served the Denver metropolitan area for over a century. Founded in 1907 by George W. Olinger, the 240-acre cemetery was established by the Crown Hill Cemetery Association, a group of Denver entrepreneurs who envisioned a premier resting place west of Wadsworth Avenue. Today, the mortuary and cemetery operate as a unified facility, offering families the convenience of managing all end-of-life arrangements on one picturesque campus. The funeral home, situated on the cemetery grounds, features multiple chapels to accommodate services of all sizes, including the newly renovated Chapel of Peace (seating up to 200 guests), the distinctive Pavilion of Reflections with open-beam architecture and floor-to-ceiling glass doors, and the historic Tower of Memories Mausoleum chapel. A private on-site crematory ensures that loved ones never leave the care of the dedicated staff, who are licensed and certified by the Cremation Association of North America. Olinger Crown Hill offers a full spectrum of services, including traditional funerals, cremations with personalized memorials, veteran honors, and pre-planning options with up to 10% savings on cemetery and funeral plans. The cemetery itself is a serene sanctuary, boasting over 1,700 trees of 69 species—earning it designation as an arboretum in 2007. Burial options range from ground burial and lawn crypts to private mausoleums and cremation niches, with a unique garden called Asia Paradise designed by a feng shui master. The Tower of Memories Mausoleum, a Denver landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places, rises 158 feet and offers Gothic and modernistic architecture with marble interiors. The facility embraces diversity, serving families of all cultures, faiths, and backgrounds. As part of the Dignity Memorial network, Olinger Crown Hill provides a 100% service guarantee and is available 24/7. The team also hosts community events such as Dia de los Muertos celebrations, holiday remembrance ceremonies, and Memorial Day events. With its rich history, stunning grounds, and compassionate care, Olinger Crown Hill Mortuary & Cemetery remains a trusted pillar of the Wheat Ridge and greater Denver community.
