McEwen Funeral Service at Sharon Memorial Park, located at 5716 Monroe Road in Charlotte, North Carolina, has been serving the community since its opening in 2007. It is part of the McEwen family of funeral homes and cemeteries, which has provided compassionate care in Mecklenburg County for nearly a century. The funeral home is situated on the grounds of the historic Sharon Memorial Park, established in 1939, allowing families to conveniently coordinate all funeral and burial arrangements in one place. The funeral home itself is a welcoming, non-denominational facility designed to honor diverse traditions and beliefs. Its spacious chapel accommodates 150-200 guests and features flat-screen televisions for tribute videos, while a cozy visitation room can host smaller services and visitations. The team at McEwen Funeral Service is committed to creating personalized memorials that truly reflect the unique life of each loved one. Whether incorporating favorite sports team themes or beloved family recipes, they work closely with families to craft meaningful ceremonies. Special care is given to veterans, with guidance on creating respectful and honorable services. The funeral home is part of the Dignity Memorial network, ensuring a 100% service guarantee, 24/7 availability, and a trusted reputation. Sharon Memorial Park itself is a 140-acre cemetery designed as a serene park with sparkling lakes, Italian marble statues, European artwork, and a magnificent indoor mausoleum. The Sharon Mausoleum, completed in 1950, features Romanesque architecture and stained-glass windows, offering various entombment options including single, companion, and couch crypts. For cremation families, there are personalized glass-front niches. The cemetery also includes the Holy Redeemer Catholic Garden, a dedicated area for Catholic families along a pond. A historic cemetery dating back nearly 200 years was relocated to the park in 1988, preserving the graves of early Charlotte settlers. The McEwen family tradition began in the early 1900s when R.J. McEwen started making coffins for neighbors. His son Carl J. McEwen began the formal business in 1915, eventually opening funeral homes in Mint Hill, Monroe, and Charlotte. The current facility at Sharon Memorial Park opened in 2007, combining modern service with a rich legacy of care. Today, McEwen Funeral Service at Sharon Memorial Park continues to provide burial, cremation, and memorial services with dignity and respect, offering pre-planning options and support for immediate needs.
