Founded in 1864, historic Clarence Fillmore Cemetery is a beautiful cemetery located at 4580 Ransom Road in the Town of Clarence.
There are approximately 8,800 “permanent residents” in Clarence Fillmore’s 13 acres. There are many U.S. military veterans interred in Clarence Fillmore Cemetery, including those who fought in the Revolutionary War at places like Bunker Hill and Yorktown.
Clarence Fillmore Cemetery was named after Rev. Dr. Glezen Fillmore, who donated the land on which the cemetery was established. Fillmore was a cousin of President Millard Fillmore and was known as the “founder of Methodism” in Western New York.
In addition to recognizing the important history of our cemetery, and the early settlers buried here, are an active cemetery today, with affordable options for casketed and cremation burial. As part of the Forest Lawn Cemetery Group, we pledge continued maintenance and care for the cemetery’s grounds, committed to assuring its future.
