City Council recommends Terra Works for $924K cemetery construction project

Lindon City Council has taken a significant step towards enhancing its cemetery services by approving a construction bid for the second phase of the cemetery expansion. During the meeting on March 17, 2025, council members discussed the selection of Terra Works as the contractor for the project, which is set to begin in late fall. The bid was awarded at $924,000, with the decision based on Terra Works' strong reputation and prior experience, particularly in projects similar to the one at Springbills Cemetery.

The total anticipated cost for the project, including granite monuments and necessary surveys, is projected to reach approximately $1.25 million. This investment aims to complete the western middle portion of the cemetery, improve access roads, and prepare for future expansions. The council emphasized the importance of ensuring that burial pins are accurately placed to avoid complications during excavation.

While some council members expressed concerns about the project's costs and the potential need for a mausoleum, they acknowledged that this expansion is a long-term investment for the community. The cemetery is expected to serve residents for generations, similar to the city's first cemetery, which has taken decades to fill.

The council's decision reflects a commitment to providing essential services and facilities for the community, addressing both current needs and future growth. As the project moves forward, residents can anticipate improvements that will enhance the cemetery's accessibility and overall experience.
