About the New York State Nurses Honor Guard

Our vision is to make sure that when a New York State nurse is coming to the end of life or has passed away, that nurse is not forgotten.  Volunteer nurses from all over New York are committed to remembering the careers and commitment of their colleagues.

Our mission is primarily two-fold: to pay tribute to nurses throughout New York State at funerals or celebrations of life, as well as providing services for nurses who are approaching end of life with a "Living Tribute," where they are honored for their dedication to the profession of nursing.

We've grown from one chapter that started because of the passing of a beloved colleague to 24 chapters that now cover 59 of the 62 counties of New York State.  Click on the map above to find the nearest chapter to join or to pay tribute to a nurse.
