The graves for Elder Uchtdorf's parents are in the Kaysville Cemetery.
KAYSVILLE AND THE UCHTDORF
FAMILY -- Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf has been a General Authority in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since
1994. He’s now an Apostle. Elder Uchtdorf’s parent’s graves are actually located in the Kaysville, Utah City Cemetery.
If a source at Kaysville City is correct, the Uchtdorf family has
had a long presence in Utah. His Mother may have lived with a married daughter and son-in-law in Kaysville for many years. So, she was buried there and her husband’s casket must have also been later
transported from Germany and reburied next to her. (Elder Uchtdorf currently
lives in Bountiful.)
The gravestone looks almost brand new, so it must have replaced an earlier monument.

-If you are ever in the
Kaysville Cemetery and want to find the grave – enter the main gate; turn right
(east); turn left on the second-to-the-last road going north. The grave is
clearly visible on the right-hand (east) side of the road just over halfway to
the north end of the cemetery.
The monument faces west.
