Fairview Cemetery, cemetery in Boston, Massachusetts
Fairview Cemetery is a burial ground in Boston that has been established since 1893 and covers a large area. The grounds were designed with winding paths that curve through open lawns and trees, creating a spacious and peaceful setting for visitors.
The grounds were founded in 1893 and follow the Lawn-Park Cemetery Movement style with curved paths and open lawns. In 1912, Boston took over management when Hyde Park was added to the city, and the site expanded with new buildings.
The cemetery holds names and stories of people who shaped the community. The curved paths and open lawns reflect a park-like design that invites visitors to walk quietly among the stones and remember those buried here.
The cemetery grounds are open from sunrise to sunset, with slightly shorter hours during winter months. The office is accessible on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday mornings until noon, located at 45 Fairview Drive.
