A Place of Healing

The National Memorial for the Unborn is dedicated to healing generations of pain associated with the loss of aborted and miscarried children. No longer must these children remain nameless and forgotten, but are honoured through the Memorial’s “Wall of Names” and “Remembrance Garden” allowing mothers, fathers and other family members to begin the healing process.

The 50-foot granite "Wall of Names" holds small brass plates with words of remembrance from individuals and families all over the country seeking post-abortion healing. By honouring their child, countless individuals and families have found freedom from guilt and shame and moved toward forgiveness and restoration.

Our Remembrance Garden is a peaceful sanctuary for mothers, fathers, and other family members to honor their miscarried child. Engraved, brick pavers placed along the garden paths share their personal stories and provide encouragement to others seeking peace and solace there.

The Memorial also includes the original painting "I Will Hold You In Heaven," historical markers, and the Pool of Tears, which is dedicated to the memory of children lost to miscarriage.

Our grounds are open 24/7/365 however, our office hours vary weekly.
Please contact us if you'd like to meet with us during office hours.

A Burden Lifted

angel-small One common need of families of aborted children is for a unique place of healing...a place where loss and grief can be shared with others who have suffered similarly, a place where the unborn can be honored and remembered in a tangible way, and a place of closure. Now there is such a place.
