Fairmount and the history of Cremation in Denver

In an age when many of us prefer cremation, it is important to know  the company  handling the cremation of your loved one, is a reputable one.  Fairmount has been providing families with cremation services since 1903.  First at "The Denver Crematory" located on the grounds of Riverside Cemetery. Denver's original crematory performed over 5000 cremations in its three decades of serving Colorado families. In 1941 the operations were moved to it's current location , on the grounds of Fairmount Cemetery.

Colorado is the only state in the nation  that does not regulate the funeral and cremation industry. Subsequently you will see many "store" front operations in the metro area.  Since it's inception at the Denver Crematory, Fairmount has performed over 40,000 cremations .

For over a century  families seeking cremation with dignity and respect for their loved ones have turned to Fairmount.  Why not trust your loved one to a locally owned and operated company that has a history of providing serve to those you love.
