In Sharon, within Sharon Memorial Park, is this marker for Philip Braverman, who lived for 102 years.
The marker is located between the two access roads to Dedham Street, and in about the middle of a gentle slope of grass with trees on the edges. The marker is flat on the ground like all other markers in the cemetery.
The marker is a bronze plaque set on a base. The marker has the name "Braverman" in large letters, bookended by a menorah and a Star of David. There are two name plates. The one on the right is Philip. On the plate is the following:
"Beloved husband and father
Philip
August 26, 1981 - Age 102 Years"
The lowest line is in Hebrew, possibly his Hebrew name
