About Lutz Cemetery

From our Family to Yours

Established in 1911 on land donated by C.E. Thomas of the North Tampa Land Company, Lutz Cemetery has served as a cherished resting place for generations of local families, veterans, and community pioneers. The cemetery's first burial, Mr. Nims in 1914, marked the beginning of its enduring legacy as a historic landmark in Lutz, Florida.

Today, American Legion Post 108 of Land O' Lakes proudly maintains and operates the cemetery, honoring its rich heritage while ensuring it remains a dignified, peaceful sanctuary. With graves dating back over a century, the cemetery reflects the stories of early settlers, war heroes, and beloved community members who shaped Lutz's history.

We are committed to preserving this sacred ground through careful maintenance, historical documentation, and community engagement. Whether you're visiting to pay respects, research genealogy, or connect with local history, Lutz Cemetery stands as a timeless tribute to those who came before us.
