For more than a century, folks have gone to Olinger Crown Hill Cemetery in Wheat Ridge, Colorado to mourn the deceased. But now, the 260-acre, 103-year-old graveyard is working to reimagine itself as something more than a spot for solemn rituals.
Crown Hill is pushing into the territory of galleries and performance halls, scheduling concerts and art exhibitions in hopes of engaging more routinely with the community, said general manager Kevin Wolfe. Wolfe wants the visitors to look around, to experience the music and the art, the plants, the history and the culture.

Fairmount Cemetery's calendar even includes a potluck Sunday for the families of people buried there and a garden-roses tour.
