Creating a firefighter memorial columbarium for line of duty deaths

The City of Malden is working to establish a memorial that stands as a testament to the bravery and sacrifice of our firefighters, especially those who have died in the line of duty. The Firefighter Memorial Improvement Project will include a memorial columbarium at Forest Dale Cemetery at the current firefighters’ memorial site. There will be space to accommodate the cremains of 12-20 firefighters with room for expansion in the future. Designed to honor firefighters who have fallen in the line of duty, this sacred space will serve as a place of remembrance and reflection for both the families and communities they served.

The City of Malden is grateful for the generosity of the Adelaide Breed Bayrd Foundation, the Lopresti Family and the Firefighters Association for their financial support to this effort.
