Presidents Hinckley, McKay and Lee have larger markers near smaller, traditional headstones. A simple traditional headstone marks President Hunter's grave with the inscription of "A Prophet, and a kind, patient, courteous and forgiving man." Tall obelisks mark the family plots of Presidents Taylor and Grant. Presidents Joseph F. Smith and George Albert Smith have vault coverings with much more of their history inscribed on them.

Presidents Joseph F. Smith and Joseph Fielding Smith are separated by seven headstones in a section that appears to have many of their family members and an obelisk to Hyrum Smith, who is buried next to his brother, Joseph, in Nauvoo.

Joseph Smith

At the corner of Water and Main streets in Nauvoo, there is a restored home with a view of the Mississippi river.

Next to the Smith family homestead is a granite marker showing the final resting places of Joseph Smith, wife Emma and brother Hyrum.

After Joseph and Hyrum were shot at Carthage Jail in 1844, they were initially buried secretly in the cellar of the unfinished Nauvoo house, which was under construction, said Lachlan Mackay, historic sites coordinator for the Community of Christ, which manages the site along with several other historic homes and buildings. Two boxes with sand and other weight were publicly buried.

At some later point, the bodies were moved. They were later moved again to where they now are, along with several others of the Smith family, including Joseph Smith Sr., Lucy Mack Smith, Don Carlos Smith and Samuel Smith.

Brigham Young

Apartments and houses have cropped up around Pioneer Memorial Park at 140 First Ave. in Salt Lake City, almost obscuring the place where Brigham Young, second president of the church, is buried. His grave is in the back southeast corner surrounded by a small fence. There are markers for nine other grave sites around the park, including Eliza R. Snow, former president of the Relief Society.

Lorenzo Snow

When President Snow, the fifth president of the church, died in 1901, he was buried in Brigham City.

"He is probably the most famous resident (in the Brigham City Cemetery)," said Pete Young, an assistant sexton at the cemetery. The first recorded burial at the cemetery is in 1852.

Young estimates that about 90 percent of the people who stop by the cemetery and aren't visiting a relative's grave are visiting President Snow's at the corner of A and Center streets. The grave is marked by a historical marker, an obelisk and a smaller headstone one row to the west.
