Utah Highway 56 goes through Modena. Just west of Milepost 9, west of the overpass, turn north on Modena Canyon Road (dirt). It is a dirt road opposite the west entrance of Main Street into the town of Modena from Highway 56. On Modena Canyon Road, go beyond the intersection for 8-mile Road, curve around a hill, then turn toward the west. The entrance to the cemetery is 1.7 miles from Highway 56.
