memorialised

Made into monument

Memorialised is the British spelling of memorialized—the past tense of memorialize, meaning to preserve the memory of someone or something through a monument, ceremony, or other lasting tribute: The fallen soldiers were memorialised with a bronze statue.

The word implies deliberate, formal commemoration rather than casual remembrance.
