The Kensico Cemetery in Valhalla, Westchester County, New York, operates as a large cemetery and interment site serving the local community. It was established in 1889 and incorporated under the Rural Cemetery Act of 1847, with the aim of serving residents of Westchester and, historically, people from New York City, given its railroad-accessible location along the New York & Harlem Railroad about 26 miles from Manhattan. In 1953, Sharon Gardens was opened as a section within the grounds to accommodate Jewish burial practices. The operation belongs to the individual and family services sector and provides burial and interment services for families seeking final resting places. Kensico Cemetery and Sharon Gardens have long been home to notable individuals across business, entertainment, philanthropy, politics, and sports.
