Wasa Memorial Garden was established in 2011 by the efforts of the Wasa and District Historical Society. There are two memorial walls with 62 plaques currently placed by family members. There are 8 niches for cremains 4 on each side of the memorial walls. It does not appear any of these are in use at the time we visited.
Towards the back is a columbarium made of granite with 12 x 12 x 12 niches each lined with an aluminum box. A niche this size holds two cremains. The 12x12 granite door permits the family name, followed by names and dates of the couple inurned. There are currently five individuals inurned there. There are 28 niches available in total.
This dedication plaque is transcribed as follows:
