Fairview Cemetery is also known as Lacombe Cemetery. It is a large cemetery maintained by the town of Lacombe. There are approximately 5,554 known interments. Fairview cemetery was established in the early 1900s.

About in the center of the cemetery is a relief of the Israelite carrying the Grapes of Canaan and two Centurion soldiers one on each side of the center relief. On the other side are two quotes from the Bible: Book of Matthew.

The releifs are attached to a large vertical concrete wall set on a wide horizontal foundation that supports the wall and on top are three very large boulders.

The cemetery is very well maintain and there are two main entrances. Within the cemetery is a Veteran's section and two memorials. There is a tank with a memorial to those who served in the Canadian Armed Forces and the 162 that died in Afghanistan. The second is a cairn dedicated to those who served during WWI, WWII and Korea.
