Memorialization Options
Cremations account for over 50% of the interments at the City's municipal cemeteries and continue to grow annually. In comparison to a traditional burial, the memorialization of cremated remains in a columbarium is an affordable alternative.
There are various options to choose from when deciding on a cremation burial. The City of Niagara Falls Cemeteries Services offers a variety of columbaria to select from. Maple Grove, an area with three columbaria and more to be added in the future, is located in a picturesque park like setting at Fairview Cemetery. Maple Grove is also home to our unique memorial pathway. Families wishing to recognize a loved one can purchase a flat marker that is installed in the pathway leading to the columbaria.
Stamford Green Heritage Columbarium is situated in the historic Old St. John's Church located on Portage Road. Constructed in 1825, this heritage designated building provides "indoor" columbaria that are accessible year round. In addition, a small area for a chapel service is also available. For additional information, visit the Stamford Green Heritage Columbarium page.
Family Flower Bed Program
"Where flowers bloom, so does hope." ~ Lady Bird Johnson
The Family Flower Bed Program is available to assist families who are no longer able to maintain their loved one's flower bed due to distance, time or ability constraints. Friendly and professional staff is available to assist with your design and plant selection to fit all needs and a range of budgets.
You may choose one or several options. A qualified horticulturalist will over see the planting, maintenance, watering and care of cemetery plot garden on a year round basis.
Commemorative Tree and Bench Program
"It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit." ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
Individuals or families wishing to remember their loved ones in a unique and lasting manner may do so by purchasing a commemorative tree or park bench. Cemetery Staff are available to assist in determining the best location. Contact the Fairview Office for details on this program and to place your order.
