The Shrine of Memories construction started in 1956.
The building is all steel and block with a limestone exterior and consists of seven units. The footprint is 89,099 with total square footage in excess of 115,000.
Within, walls of marble and brick, stained glass windows and a beautiful flower garden make the building a truly fitting expression of remembrance. The building inventory includes the recent addition of glass front niches. These niches are softly lit and allow families to view the cremation urns. Basic year-round comforts of modern heating, lighting and ventilation systems are provided as well.
