Flower Mound Cemetery, Flower Mound

The Flower Mound Cemetery was established in 1854 by Matthew Donald, a successful farmer who served as the first pastor of the Flower Mound Presbyterian Church. At that time, Flower Mound was a small farming community and the cemetery was final resting place for the families in the area.

The Crawford farm bordered the church grounds to the south and Frank Crawford oversaw the cemetery. At that time, families simply claimed spaces when the need arose. The “Old Section” is still held for family members who have relatives buried there. In 1950 the Dyer family cemetery was relocated to Flower Mound from Grapevine.
