Green-Wood Cemetery asks families of COVID victims to participate in memorial on Fifth Ave.
An evening ceremony will take place on Tuesday, June 8, to begin a drive asking the public to participate in an interactive memorial at Green-Wood Cemetery for those who died during the COVID pandemic.
Entitled “We Remember: A Community COVID Memorial,” the memorial is located on 200 feet of the cemetery’s fence along Fifth Avenue at 25th Street. The cemetery’s current campaign will last through June 28.
The memorial consists of thousands of nameplates with personalized drawings as well as photos from the families and friends of those who have lost loved ones during the pandemic.
