The Davis Cemetery District will dedicate a permanent COVID-19 Memorial, a project three years in the making. This memorial, located at 820 Pole Line Road, will serve as a space for reflection, remembrance, and healing. The memorial features a walking path with four portals—Home, Community, Loss, and Hope—leading to a reflection area where visitors can sit and contemplate the impact of the pandemic. As visitors exit the memorial, they will encounter images highlighting strength and resiliency, focusing on looking forward while remembering the past.

Even though the memorial is in Davis, California, and many of its images reflect the Sacramento Region, it is intended to be a shared space of caring for people across the world.

The memorial honors those who lost their lives and considers first responders, essential workers, small businesses, caregivers, families, and friends, especially those disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. Closer to home, it acknowledges the local community’s resilience and ability to overcome adversity.
