Memorial Monument Project for the Haitian families in Queens

Thousands of our loved ones lost their lives during the 2010 Haiti earthquake tragedy. It has been almost 2 years, and still the grief, the pain and sorrow are vivid in our hearts. Some families had the opportunity to give a proper burial to their loved ones and some other families were not as fortunate to do so. Many of the bodies were either never found or have been placed in a mass graveyard. The latter is one of the worst fears for anyone who has suffered a tragic loss. It is very painful to live with the fact that you lost a loved one and you are unable to say one last goodbye or do the last rituals.

Maple Grove Cemetery in Kew Gardens, Queens is reaching out to the Queens Haitian families to establish a Memorial Monument to commemorate the lives of their loved ones who perished during the earthquake, and had no proper burial in Haiti or in the United States. Maple Grove Cemetery has been working on this project since 2010. They have retained a Haitian architect to design the monument and are ready to make that happen as soon as they recruit more families. The memorial monument will be a place to honor your loved one by having their name engraved onto the monument, to visit anytime you want and meditate. Most importantly, the monument will stand erect for many generations to come.

There are no donations required and no need to pay for anything. There is no need to be concerned about your legal status in the USA because their goal is to give YOU, the Haitian family, the opportunity to have the name of your loved one engraved in a restful place.

Haiti1Stop urges anyone residing in Queens wanting to be part of this Memorial project to contact us and we will forward the full contact information of the person you need to speak to at Maple Grove Cemetery. They would like to start the Project ASAP and want more people to participate in.

Maple Grove Cemetery is already the restful place for many Haitian families pre-and post earthquake.
