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 homicide and ruled as such by 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. Please consider a gift of $38 to cover the costs of each engraved brick. All applications will be processed regardless of the ability to donate. No donation is too small and any amount is appreciated. If you are able to give more than the cost of one brick, the additional funds will be applied to bricks for families who are unable to give at the time of their application. Thank you for your support.
Thank you to Tina Mast and Homewood Nursery for the beautiful work done on the garden.
