Testimonies:

Read what some of our customers had to say about the service we provide.

"I have been in many cemeteries but this one has excelled them all. Of course it is their job to be professional but they go above and beyond. Mr. William Blakely made sure that I met almost everyone on his team even the people that buried my grandfather. He was most efficient and made me feel like family. I am sure they will make your family feel the same way. I loved Ms. Olivia, she made sure they treated my grandfather like he was the only one at this cemetery. If you want a beautiful burial with lots of options, call this cemetery, ask for Mr. William Blakely, he was super!I will never forget my experience with Detroit Memorial Park. "

"I recently began looking for the burial site of my wife's mother who passed away when she was 9yrs old. Knowing only that she was at 13 mile and Ryan, I found Detroit Memorial in the yellow pages. Once having reached your office i spoke with Lavet (probably spelled wrong) who took the little information i had about my mother-in-law and assisted me in filling in the blanks. Thanks to Lavet we have all the information we need, and will be visiting your location this weekend. Once again Lavet my wife and I thank you. "

"I have to concur with Ms. Townsel's testimony. I originally planned to bury my brother at Gethsemene Cemetery. However, after consulting with my sisters, we decided to go with DMP, which is where my relatives are buried. Mr. William Blakely not only assisted me with making the selection go smoothly, but he also was able to determine that my mother had an available plot that was purchased back in 1989. It was because of his determination that my brother is now buried with my mother. He deserves some sort of reward for his superior customer service skills. He goes above and beyond his duty. He took the time and answered all of my questions and ensured that our family was comfortable during this challenging period in our lives. He was able to add sunshine to our dismal days."

"I would like to express my thanks to Ms. Linda Walker at Detroit Memorial Park-East for her excellent customer service. She went above and beyond her duties to help me locate the burial records for many of our family members who left Texas in the late 30's and moved to Detroit in search of job opportunities. For years stories have been passed down about our missing relatives in Detroit and I decided to try to find them with the limited knowledge that I had. I contacted your cemetery and Ms. Walker responded by asking me the names of my relatives. She had limited information but was able to locate the year of death which enabled me to get death certificates from the State of Michigan. Although there are no headstones for my relatives I am so happy that Ms. Walker was able to help me solve this family history mystery. She also sent me a photo of the front of the cemetery since I am unable to travel to Michigan. As the family historian I will add this information to our written history with all the correspondence from your cemetery. Please add this letter to your website so that others will know what a great staff you have. I am constantly encouraging people to pursue their family history. If they chose to look deeper it can bring about amazing results. My thanks and sincere gratitude to Ms. Linda Walker for her assistance. Very truly yours, Captoria Shelby Dallas, Texas "

"We lost our beautiful Mother suddenly on 5/13/11 and were totally grief-stricken! However, it was LaVette at the Warren location that provided us with a very personal touch and extreme patience that helped to ease the pain that we were experiencing in selecting a burial site for our Mother. Thank you to LaVette as well as to the entire staff!"
