In addition to many of the city's business and cultural elite, at Halifax's Fairview Cemetery, 121 victims of the Titanic disaster are interred. Another 29 victims who were recovered are buried in Halifax and can be located at the Roman Catholic Mount Olivet Cemetery and the Jewish Baron de Hirsch Cemetery.

One of the Titanic's real heroes, is John Law Hume . Known as "Jock", he was a violinist in the ship's orchestra. John's grave is like most of the Titanic graves at Fairview Cemetery. Besides his name, it only contains: Died April 15, 1912. 193 (The "193" was the number of John's body.)
