Commemorative River Stones

We invite you to add the name of a victim you know to this memorial. A victim's name will be incorporated into the Garden only if requested.

Guidelines for including victims' names:

  • Connection to Massachusetts: either the victim or survivors do, or did reside here; or the victim was here at the time of the crime.

  • Stone information: the victim's name, date of birth and date of death.

  • One stone per individual: Names will be engraved on a first-come basis until all stones in the stream are used. Thereafter stones will be added to other areas of the Garden

To add the name of a victim to the Garden of Peace:

  • Mail completed form and donation or $200* (tax deductible) to:
         Garden of Peace
         PO Box 8382
         Boston, MA 02114
  • We will contact you to verify inscription information
*The donation for a stone is $200 to cover the cost of the stone, the engraving, and installation.  It is important to us at the Garden of Peace that all stone requests be honored.  If you are unable to include the entire donation at this time, please contact the Garden about possible financial assistance and payment plans.

The Garden of Peace is a memorial commemorating victims of homicide. Each victim in this garden is united by the circumstances that led to their death. Families and friends of these victims are united in their loss, in their efforts to end violence, and in their continual search to find some peace. It is here in this Garden, we can find some Peace.

The river stones with the names of the victim are placed along the dry river bed. In order to locate a particular stone we have divided the garden into five sections; A-E. The name of each victim is listed alphabetically with a letter beside it indicating the approxamite location of their stone. We hope this will assist you in more easily locating the stone of your loved one.
