 The
Homicide Victims Memorial is the
first interactive memorial in the country dedicated exclusively
to homicide victims.
This elegant white marble kiosk rests on the grounds
of Rose Hills Cemetery in Whittier, California. It houses an interactive
digital theater which displays the biographies of hundreds of
homicide victims with more added each month.Made possible by a generous grant from Nick & Stacey Nicholas, the Homicide Victims Memorial is the only one of its kind in the country.  Not
only does the memorial represent a milestone in the accomplishments
of JHV - the annual celebration of Victims' Rights
Week draws visitors from throughout the country. The ceremony
includes awards
for the distinguished services performed by many District Attorneys,
Deputy D.A.'s, Mayors, Governors and countless Victims Rights
Advocates.
 
In the nine years since we dedicated the Homicide Victims Memorial, technology has changed considerably. We are in the process of developing new software that will allow families to input and personalize their own stories and pictures about their loved-ones. We believe this will be a very exciting new addition to the Homicide Victims Memorial. Check in at the new Homicide Victims’ Memorial www.hvmfoundation.org periodically to see the progress we are making.
"This magnificent memorial really says many things. It is state-of-the-art technology. It really does mean that the memory of loved-ones will be preserved for future generations." Former California Governor, Pete Wilson
