The 1891 crematory building serves as both operational facility and ceremonial space, with its original chapel room, stained-glass windows, and casket lowering device to the basement level. The 1928 community mausoleum sits atop the river bluffs with stone and marble exterior, marble interior floors, spacious walkways, electric lighting, and stained-glass accents. The Aster Flower Columbarium added in Spring 2020 provides modern niche options. Prairie Overlook preserves one of Iowa's last remnant prairie ecosystems for memorialization. Offices are located in the crematory building with appointment availability; Pine Hill Cemetery office provides additional record access.
Fairmount requires families to work with licensed funeral directors for cremation services, partnering with Schroder Mortuary and McGinnis-Chambers for funeral home coordination while maintaining crematory operations on-site.
Fairmount Cemetery and Crematory occupies a commanding position on the high bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River Valley in Davenport, Iowa. Founded in 1881 as West Davenport Cemetery, the property gained national significance in 1891 when its crematory became only the second such facility built west of the Mississippi River—and today ranks as the ninth oldest still operating in the United States. The 1891 crematory building features elegant brick construction, colorful stained-glass windows, and a central chapel room accessible by a flight of stairs leading to double doors. Pine Hill Cemetery now operates Fairmount, with offices located in the crematory building itself and additional record access available at the Pine Hill Cemetery office. The cemetery's name emerged from a 1900 public contest, with the winning entry earning its submitter a free burial spot.
