Centered around a Holy Redeemer Crucifix atop a 96-niche cremation columbarium, the garden is designed to serve generations of families while honoring faith and tradition.

At the heart of the park stands Sharon Mausoleum, a magnificent structure completed in 1950 and designed by architect Cecil E. Bryan.

Guided by the vision of founder Dr. William L. Halberstadt, Sharon Memorial Park was created to be a place of quiet beauty. An everlasting garden that tells the story of a life and evokes lasting memories. The cemetery remains committed to maintaining well-kept grounds and serving families of all faiths with dignity and care.
