Cremation Options

Michigan Memorial Park is known for helping families memorialize their loved ones for the past 84 years, especially for those who are cremated or wish to be cremated. Michigan Memorial Park provides over 25 different burial options for those who wish to be cremated — to suit everyone's needs, preference and budget. Below are some of the different ways loved ones who are cremated can be buried at Michigan Memorial Park:

On top of someone who is already buried, up to three people to one grave
In a mausoleum called a "niche"
In a custom-made granite bench that can hold up to eight family members
In a private family columbarium for up to four people
In a private granite pedestal with a custom-made top of your choice

Niches are specially made spaces that are above ground and hold the cremated remains of at least two people. Some are interior (inside mausoleums) and some are exterior. Below are some of the different niche options Michigan Memorial Park offers:
