Fairmount Memorial Park was originally established as Fairmount Cemetery on May 29, 1888. It served as the Spokane community's "Official City and County Burial Ground." This cemetery park is made up of 160 acres, with just over 80 developed. Sitting high on the rim rock above the Spokane River, one can enjoy the breathtaking view of Spokane's "Bowl and Pitcher" and Riverside State Park.

Fairmount Memorial Association has been privileged to serve families in the Greater Inland Empire area since 1888. Locally-owned since our inception, what began as a single location on the west side of Spokane now includes seven parks and cemeteries between the West Plains and the Spokane Valley.   

Fairmount Memorial Association believes it is our honor to serve your family, and we will exceed your expectations.

Most of the parks and cemeteries the Association manages have their roots deep in local Northwest history, if not American history itself. Several parks are on properties originally acquired through Congressional land grants to incentivize the expansion of railroads to the Pacific Coast following the Civil War. 

Fairmount, Greenwood, and Woodlawn were each dedicated in the late 1800s to serve the city of Spokane Falls and its growing population.  Riverside and Pines Cemetery followed a few decades later with their dedication before the start of the first World War.  

Each of our parks is a memorial to the legacy of the pioneers and the citizens in our community and region.  We consider it a privilege to have been a part of the Northwest community for over 130 years, and take pride in being a part of honoring the lives of families for the next 130 years or more.
