Fairview Cemetery, established in 1884, is the oldest non-Catholic cemetery in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Covering 4 acres off Cerrillos Road, Fairview Cemetery is a tranquil refuge adorned with old shade trees and fragrant lilacs in spring. It contains approximately 3,700 documented burials, including many prominent Santa Fe residents and New Mexico historical figures. Some of the oldest gravestones date back to the 1860s, belonging to individuals originally interred in the downtown Masonic and Odd Fellows graveyard and later moved to Fairview between 1895 and 1901.

Recognized for its historical significance, Fairview Cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. Today, the Fairview Cemetery Preservation Association (FCPA) operates the cemetery as a nonprofit organization, working to maintain and preserve this important piece of Santa Fe’s history.

For those interested in becoming part of this historic site, many plots are available for purchase.
