Combine cherries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Using a fork, gently mash cherries. Allow mixture to come to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook cherries, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes until the cherries soften and the juices slightly thicken. Allow to cool to room temperature before assembling parfaits.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and salt. Divide the mixture evenly between 6 glasses and set aside.
In a large bowl, using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy. Mix in the vanilla until incorporated.
In a medium bowl, whisk heavy cream until medium peaks form. Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then fold in the other half.
Evenly distribute no-bake cheesecake filling on top of graham cracker layers. Top with cooled cherries. Serve immediately.
