The Fairview Cemetery is located on North 4th Street between Walnut Street and Locust Street in the center of the Borough. This 5.37-acre site is the resting place of many of the founding residents from the Borough. The cemetery serves anyone who may choose Fairview Cemetery as the final resting place for their loved ones.
Our website has just been newly implemented and is a work in progress. It is not complete but it does have a lot of public information we thought was worth sharing even before all data and photographs have been inputted. Fairview Cemetery only allows limited personal information already in the public domain. This would include name grave location date of death or interment date (if available). Note: It is important to understand burial records are not perfect.
This facility is maintained by the Denver Borough. For more information about the Fairview Cemetery or the Fairview Cemetery Annex please call Joan High Office Assistant at 717-336-2831 Ext. 6. or by email at JHigh@denverboro.net. The Denver Borough Municipal Building Office Hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
