Fairview Cemetery

Fairview Cemetery, Municipal cemetery in Halifax, Canada

Fairview Lawn Cemetery lies at the northern end of Windsor Street in Halifax's North End, bordered by the Saint John Anglican cemetery and the Baron de Hirsch Cemetery. Surveyor E. W. Christie laid out three long lines of graves in gentle curves following the sloping site; the curve suggests the outline of a ship's bow. Most Titanic victims have small gray granite markers with name and date of death.

The site opened in 1893 when Camp Hill Cemetery reached full capacity, replacing an area where a blockhouse stood during the 1750s. Growth continued for decades as new sections were added to serve different communities in the region.

Fairview holds a Greek section and a Chinese section among its graves, alongside a mass grave of Halifax Explosion victims. The Titanic burials were arranged by coroner John Henry Barnstead, and the grave marked J. Dawson draws flowers and ticket stubs from film fans; it belongs to Joseph Dawson, a coal trimmer from the ship's boiler room.

The cemetery lies at the northern end of Windsor Street in Halifax's North End, bordered by the Saint John Anglican cemetery and the Baron de Hirsch Cemetery. The Titanic graves are laid out in three long curved lines on the sloping ground, so allow time to walk the rows. The site is open daily and entry is free.

The curved rows of Titanic graves were laid out by surveyor E. W. Christie following the slope of the land; by coincidence the curve suggests the bow of a ship. The grave marked J. Dawson draws flowers from film fans, though it belongs to Joseph Dawson, a coal trimmer from Ireland, not Leonardo DiCaprio's character.
