Cemetery Clean Up March 1-15

Please remove any unauthorized grave decorations. Unauthorized grave decorations will be removed and discarded during cleanup. 
Attention Evergreen and Fairview Families
The cemetery is planting grass on new graves and mowing and trimming the spaces.  Please note that we cannot plant grass, mow, or trim any spaces that have grave decorations that are not in approved cemetery vases or on the monument base.  All plastic flowers, fencing, solar lights, figurines, pinwheels, baskets, toys, glass or plastic vases, wind chimes, hooks, and any other items must be removed for grass to be planted, mowed and trimmed.  We ask that families do not place any prohibited items on grave spaces at any time.  All items will be removed by cemetery staff during the cemetery clean up in November.  Thank you for helping us keep our cemeteries safe and beautiful places to visit. 

Evergreen Cemetery Fundraiser 

Established shortly after Colorado Springs was founded in 1871, Evergreen Cemetery is one of Colorado Springs oldest continuously-operated cemeteries. The original ten acres has grown to over 220, with more than 90,000 burials. Many of the pioneers that built the city of Colorado Springs, including American prospector and philanthropist Winfield Scott Stratton, poet Helen Hunt Jackson, and even our city’s founder, General William Jackson Palmer are buried in Evergreen Cemetery. In 1993, this cemetery became only the second in the state to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Read more...

Evergreen Cemetery

Evergreen was established shortly after the town was founded in 1871, and deeded to the City of Colorado Springs in 1875 by city founder, General William Jackson Palmer. As such, 220-acre Evergreen Cemetery enjoys a unique historical tie to the Colorado Springs community. In 1993, Evergreen was placed on the National Register of Historic Places, only the second cemetery in the state to receive such an honor.

Fairview Cemetery is sold out of spaces for casket burial.  Limited cremation spaces are still available. 

Fairview Cemetery provides a colorful look at the history of the area. Tucked inside a Westside Colorado Springs neighborhood, the 32-acre cemetery exudes charm and history. It boasts the grave sites of many fascinating figures who were instrumental in establishing the history of Colorado City, founded in 1859 as a supply town for gold prospectors.
