Visit the garden all year round
The names of those taken by violent crime are inscribed on the bricks that line the walkway of the garden, reflecting the memories of those who are forever etched on our hearts. The garden provides the opportunity to reflect on the special memories and years spent with loved ones, and its tranquility gives the sense of a hopeful future.

Submit a Brick Application
** Note: This is an application process. Only applications of deaths investigated as a violent criminal homicide and ruled as such by the medical examiner and law enforcement will be approved.
We welcome family and friends and other loved-ones to submit an application for the placement of a brick in the NCVAN Crime Victim Memorial Garden to memorialize their loved one taken by violent crime.
The NCVAN Garden is sustained solely by donors. If you feel moved to support the engraving of our memorial bricks, we welcome your donation at the link below. Every dollar - 100% - goes directly toward the creation and engraving of these meaningful tributes.
Thank you for your support.
