Each year, memorial services mark the beginning of Maryland’s observance of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week and feature inspirational speakers, musical performances, and quiet reflection to honor over 4,000 crime victims of homicide, vehicular manslaughter, and missing crime victims and their families.

These memorial services provide a safe, supportive, and trustworthy space for families of crime victims to congregate and share their stories. Many advocates, who strive to serve victims of crime, help to coordinate the memorial services because they understand the importance of a positive outlet for families to cope with their grief and honor their lost and loved ones.

This event covers Anne Arundel, Baltimore City, Baltimore, Cecil, Harford, and Howard counties.

The event will begin at 2:00 p.m.
