Lonely Planet review for Fairview Lawn Cemetery

Since the film Titanic swept through the 1998 Academy Awards like, well, an iceberg, nondenominational Fairview Cemetery has been incorporated into the tour bus circuit. Halifax, base of rescue operations for the tragedy, is home to nearly all the residuals of the fateful voyage.

Among the 121 victims buried here is a lowly coal shoveler named Jim Dawson, who was transformed by Hollywood into Jack Dawson. It's easy to find grave No 227, marked simply 'J Dawson, April 15, 1912', as weepy adolescents have made it a pilgrimage point and there are usually flowers.
