Fairview Cemetery was established in 1852 and covers about 20 acres of land. The cemetery is divided into two sections: Riverside and Fairview. Riverside is the older section and contains many graves of prominent citizens and veterans of the Civil War, Spanish-American War, and World War I. Fairview is the newer section and has more modern features such as a columbarium and a veterans' memorial. The cemetery is maintained by the Town of Grafton and is open to the public from dawn to dusk.

The entrance to Fairview Cemetery is on Providence Road (MA-122).
