    This a wonderful old graveyard that is peaceful and beautiful despite being in a bustling city. Fairview was definitely worth the visit if you enjoy history.

    Always had been a bucket list visit for a long time and it didn't disappoint. We used the Hop on / hop off bus to get from the Cruise terminal to get here whick takes you via the citadel, Agricola Street and the Hydrostone District to get you there and is a great bus tour. Fairview Lawn Cemetery is beautiful and serene and of course has 121 victims buried here. There are clear information boards and signposts. The site is beautifully maintained and we paid our respects, had a quiet walk around before continuing our bus tour. There are another 10 victims buried nearby in the Baron de Hirsch Cemetery which was closed at the time of our visit.

    A long time coming as a 44 year Titanic aficionado, a subtle, non-extravagant and moving place to visit. A small corner of the cemetery, clearly marked, the last resting place for 150+ of the victims of the Titanic disaster brought to shore by the Mackay Bennett in 1912. This is not a sideshow or exhibition but the final resting place and memorials to hundreds who died under the most appalling of conditions on the cold April night.

    The site is emotional. Located in Fairlawn Cemetery, in a beautiful well kept site. Just reading some of the stones, I had tears. A very must site to see.

    Interesting to learn the sea travel is not as safe as we innocently thought. Only low number of the bodies those who died were properly buried and many are unnamed

    Well kept cemetery. I did not know there were victims of the Titanic disaster buried here!

    A nice quick stop on your way into Halifax if you're into old cemeteries and history.

    An honour to stand in front of those who where taken when the titanic was taken by the sea. Never forgotten.

    Neat and well-kept. Great place to learn the real history of the Titanic disaster

    Easily accessible, we didn't take a tour but just walked though and looked at the markers & names. Maybe a tour would have been more interesting. It would be nice to get some background & stories.

    It was really great to see the graves and remember those that list their lives. Nice that there's some information about some of the people too. I found Jack Dawson's stone too.

    The only thing you can hear is silence 🀐... You can take a drive through the cemetery and have a visit to the remains of the halifax explosion and titanic disaster... You will find proper boards to guide you to these sections inside the cemetery... #respect #prayers

    Good to know the place. You can spend about 10 minutes here. There isn't much parking available.

    Nice place to pay respect to the victims of the Titanic wreck. Interesting to read the kind words on the graves.

    Seems chills. If you stand away you notice the top grave stones make a ships hull. Also there was no Jack Dawson. He was made up in the movie.

    We were on a bus tour and were fortunate to be first. The site itself gets a lot of visits which can interfere with the somber mood such a place elicits. The titanic graves get the most attention but there is a section for the Halifax Explosion victims and different areas showing the historic segregation that people had. Strangely, through a modern lens it wasn't like good and bad sections, but rather evokes a sectarian separation and respect for differences in culture and familial ties. My photos

    It is a serene spot to commemorate the lives that were cut short with the sinking of the Titanic.

  • 5/5 Ray O. 9 months ago on Google
    A truly humbling experience. Anyone that wishes to pay their respects to this maritime disaster should come here to do so. Well kept grounds. Was well worth the visit. Highly recommend to anyone interested in the Titanic. This is one of the only ways to see what she left behind.
