Fairview Cemetery

We recently buried my Father at Willow’s Rest, the Green Burial section of Fairview Cemetery. It’s a welcoming area of natural beauty in the midst of more traditional manicured lawns and marble stones. A meadow of wild flowers is home for bee hives and butterflies and rimmed with trees and wooden sculpting.
My family and I love the idea of the low environmental impact of a green burial and while alive, Dad had expressed pleasure at the idea of being buried under a tree. The day following his passing my brother contacted Mark Richardson, manager of the cemetery, and I spoke with Darlene, on the front desk. Although nothing had been prearranged and we were totally unprepared, they were both very kind and helpful. Later that day, Mark showed us the Willow's Rest area and we selected a plot; under a tree of course.
On the day of the burial, much as we were grieving our loss, the peacefulness of the spot made the whole funeral experience very special.

My wife is laid to rest there
