Sharon Memorial Park, located in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, has met the needs of Jewish families and communities since the late 1940s. Located in Sharon, Massachusetts, staff at the cemetery are strong believers in heritage and tradition, and are therefore proud to offer a variety of services that followed Jewish custom and tradition when it comes to memorialization and burial services. Sharon Memorial Park has long served the Boston community, and while it's modeled after famous Forest Lawn Cemetery in Los Angeles, California, cemetery staff follow strict Jewish burial traditions. The property encompasses over 300 acres and has been used as a cemetery property since the late 1800s. Sections of the park are named after famous Biblical and historical locations throughout Israel, such as Mount of Olives, Galilee, and Jerusalem. The cemetery property also offers a section for Orthodox Jews as well as those of Jewish mixed marriages in its Beersheba section. Staff at the cemetery provide a variety of memorial services, burials and unveilings, depending on family need and request. One of the newest additions to the property is the Star of David section, which also offers a Holocaust Memorial Wall. Driving paths and walkways offer easy access to all corners of the cemetery property, with massive acreage available for future development. Wall estates, separate burial plots, a veteran's mall, small chapel estates, and the especially beautiful Chapel In The Woods available for meditation offer visitors a sense of permanency, care, and compassion, as well as beautiful locations throughout the property. Private family burial estates offer eight spaces or more, according to need. The property is shaded by hundreds of trees, some growing along the pathways, others in clusters. Landmarks, small ponds, and a variety of statues and other visible elements make Sharon Memorial Park one of the most beautiful in the area. A beautiful property, Sharon Memorial Park follows Jewish mourning traditions, including Shiva, Sh'loshim, unveiling, Yahrzeit and Yizkor, as well as Jewish holidays, which began at sundown on the day before specific holiday events. Located and slightly southwest of downtown Boston, visitors may access Sharon Memorial Park by taking Interstate 95 south. Visitors may also take North Main Street out of downtown Sharon and drive north with a turnoff onto Canton Street, which will take them directly to the property, located on the north side of the highway. |
