Submit a Memorial

We welcome memorials submitted by those who knew and loved someone who died while living or working behind bars during the current pandemic. We accept written memorials of any kind, as well as photographs, artwork, letters, or other items you might have that honor the memory of your loved one. 

To submit online, please complete the memorial submission form below and click “Send Now!” You may also email memorial items, along with a submission form, to mourningourlosses@gmail.com.

To submit physical items, such as letters, artwork, photographs, or other items, please mail the object, along with a submission form, to:

Mourning Our Losses

Physical submissions will be digitized (scanned or photographed) and posted online as soon as possible. Unfortunately, we cannot return any item sent to us at this time.

Please note that, following the advice of our team members who are formerly incarcerated, MOL does not publish the details of crimes of conviction, nor do we publish dehumanizing language or symbols.
