Say Their Names Monuments Presents
The Garden of Remembrance
Juneteenth Atlanta 2027
Where Love Blooms and Legacies Live Forever.
Step into a meaningful garden of remembrance where love, legacy, and community come together.
Presented by Say Their Names Monuments during the Juneteenth Atlanta Parade & Music Festival, the Garden of Remembrance will honor individuals lost to violence, systemic injustice, tragedy, and unexpected circumstances.
Through personalized memorial monuments, remembrance displays, family tributes, and meaningful experiences, we celebrate the lives, stories, and legacies of loved ones who will never be forgotten.
Every name represents a life. Every life holds a story. Every story deserves to be remembered.

About the Garden
A Garden Where Every Life Is Remembered.
The Garden of Remembrance is a special memorial experience designed to bring impacted families and communities together to celebrate the lives of those they love.
We believe remembrance should be more than a photograph or a name.
It should be an opportunity to reflect on cherished memories, celebrate meaningful lives, connect with others, and preserve stories for future generations.
Throughout the Garden, visitors will encounter memorial monuments, remembrance photographs, floral displays, and opportunities for personal reflection.
Our goal is to create a peaceful, welcoming environment where families feel supported and every loved one is remembered with dignity.
They were more than the way they died. Their lives deserve to be celebrated.
How We Honor Their Lives
Every Name. Every Face. Every Story.
The Garden of Remembrance will feature several meaningful ways for families to honor their loved ones. Each remembrance option is designed to preserve the name, photograph, and legacy of someone deeply loved.
Memorial Monuments
A Lasting Tribute to a Beautiful Life
Our planned memorial monuments will feature photographs and names of loved ones, creating meaningful displays of remembrance throughout the Garden.
Memory Stakes
Their Memory Along the Garden Path
Memory Stakes will display personalized remembrance photographs, allowing families to honor loved ones throughout designated areas of the Garden.
Memory Wall
Every Loved One Deserves a Place
Our Memory Wall will provide an accessible remembrance opportunity for families wishing to honor their loved ones through photographs and names.
312 planned featured remembrances through monuments and Memory Stakes, plus additional Memory Wall tributes. These figures describe the planned exhibit capacity, not confirmed registrations.
