Fairview Cemetery

Fairview Cemetery is best known as the resting place for over 100 victims of the Titanic disaster.   The city of Halifax was key to the rescue effort of this tragedy, as well as the recovery of the unfortunate victims.  The bodies here are all marked with a small gravestone listing the name, date of death, as well as an identification number that was used before the body was identified.  Still, about one-third of the graves were never positively identified.

There is one very touching grave for an unidentified child, where people still lay toys and teddy bears to honor the young who died during this sinking.

For anyone who has an interest in the history of the Titanic, this visit is a must see.  However, this is still an active cemetery, so be courteous of others on the grounds.
