International Suicide Memorial Wall

International Suicide Memorial Wall


The International Suicide Memorial wall was originally begun in Columbia, Tennessee and dedicated on April 26, 2006. It was later moved to Nashville, Tennessee and re-dedicated on May 17, 2019.

It’s our hope that people who request memorial tiles to be put on the wall will be comforted knowing that their loved ones will be at a place where they will be honored and cared for.

We also hope that the wall helps plant seeds of compassion in the hearts of visitors, seeds that may develop into a commitment to understanding suicide and finding solutions.

The International Suicide Memorial Wall is now tended to by the Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network (TSPN) in Nashville, Tennessee. There are over 750 photos on the wall from all over the US and the world.
