Dry Creek Cemetery ยท Boise, Idaho
A place of peace, healing, and remembrance
Angel of Hope Idaho is a community remembrance park where families can come to remember children and loved ones lost too soon - on birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and any quiet day that calls for it.
Our mission
A permanent place to remember
Angel of Hope Idaho is a remembrance park taking shape at Dry Creek Cemetery in Boise, sponsored in partnership with the Eagle 616 Lions Club.
At its heart stands the Angel of Hope statue - part of a tradition that began with Richard Paul Evans’ book The Christmas Box and has since given grieving families around the world somewhere to go.
This is a community effort, built by local families, donors, and volunteers who understand that grief does not end after the funeral.
