This is a lush park that is a rich part of Colorado’s legacy. A place truly worth celebrating. Think beyond the memorial destination you may have thought it was. The Cemetery extends beyond its front gates and welcomes visitors to Fairmount’s park-like setting and stunning 280-acre arboretum, the largest in the state. Here, guests can stroll amidst almost 7,500 plantings originally designed by the renowned landscape architect Reinhard Schuetze. This is much more than simply a place. It is an uplifting, beautiful experience with a sense of awe and history." (from (
