What does EMIR Mean?

Every Murder Is Real. There are ripple effects from a homicide travels far and wide reaching the furthest corners of a community. It is raw. It is tragic. It is real.

Emir Greene, son of Founder Victoria Greene, was tragically murdered on March 26th 1997.

How is murder different?

Survivors of a violent death have to contend with a totally different set of circumstances than someone who has experienced a “natural” death.

EMIR is here to guide survivors through the many feelings they will experience and the legal ramifications that are inevitable.
