Fair View Cemetery, Roanoke VA

Fair View Cemetery, Roanoke VA Established in 1890, The Historic Fair View Cemetery is one of the most recognized cemeteries in the Roanoke Valley.

We help continue the legacy of our community's loved ones by offering traditional services, as well as a Celebration of Life. Fair View is the most recognized cemetery in the area, for both its historic past and its rare dedication to preserving and enhancing the beautiful grounds for future generations. In 1890, when Roanoke was known as "Big Lick", a small group of leading citizens developed Fai

r View, one of the first privately owned cemeteries for public use in Virginia. Almost 125 years later, Fair View is the final resting place for over 20,000 persons within the 73-acre burial park, with space available for 30,000 more interments. Throughout the grounds are interred thousands of veterans who served in the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World Wars I and II, the Korean Conflict, and the Vietnam War. Many of Roanoke’s leading citizens, including 10 mayors and many prominent business leaders who pioneered and built the Roanoke Valley, chose Fair View as their final resting place. In commemoration of Fair View's rare past, "A Walk Through History" museum occupies the reception area of the administration building located in the center of Fair View Cemetery. This unique collection enhances, honors and preserves the integrity of one of the oldest cemeteries in Virginia.
