The photos below are primarily of the memorial services that were held in the days and weeks that immediately followed the shootings, informal and formal.

 Eric Harris cross
Greg Zanis, crafter of the crosses, deliberately used a different font (letter style) for Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold's crosses
to seperate them from their victims. The very presence of the killers' crosses among the victims' outraged many.
