secular memorials

Secular memorials are non-religious monuments or sites created to honor individuals or events, reflecting cultural or historical significance without spiritual or religious symbolism. They serve as public recognition of achievements, sacrifices, or important moments, and can include statues, plaques, parks, or memorial walls. Unlike religious memorials, secular ones focus on human stories, remembrance, and collective memory, accessible to people of all beliefs or backgrounds. They provide spaces for reflection, education, and honoring history in a respectful, inclusive manner.
