It was a bit dicey due to a goose nest near the mausoleum, but the staff had extra personnel there to shoo the aggressive goose away without hurting him. The Rosa Parks Chapel is a beautiful, peaceful building. A very touching building to have a brief prayer before the inurnment. And the Detroit history is remarkable.

A beautiful park setting with rolling hills and a pond, this cemetery features beautiful mausoleums replete with stunning stained glass and architecture by some well-known names. On a beautiful day, you can walk and walk and walk, and never tire of the beautiful monuments. "Back in the day" this was THE place to be buried. . It is still a lovely place for a peaceful drive or walk. A huge cemetery with 71,000 people interred here, it boasts one of the largest numbers of private mausoleums anywhere. A quick google search will give you a list of names of Michigan famous people who are buried here. Very nicely paved roads and most areas have mature shady trees. As with most other cemeteries in this area of Michigan, there are gates surrounding the entire cemetery, and they are closed and locked at sundown (often earlier -- hours are posted). It is still possible for the average person to buy a plot in this cemetery. Peaceful, despite being at the very north edge of the city of Detroit.

Almost $5,000 to dig a 3x3x3 hole and cover it. Over $1000 to unscrew 2 plates and add death dates. It took 6 trips to the cemetery and only one was the actual burial. They make the grieving process so much harder and ridiculously expensive.

From the very first contact with Wm. Sullivan & Son Funeral Home, I knew this was a professional,…read morekind, and deeply caring place--the funeral home I wanted to trust during the worst moment of my life. I lost my 23‑year‑old daughter in a tragic accident abroad, which made our situation uniquely complex. It required coordination between two funeral homes, international flights, extensive documentation, and tight timelines. From start to finish, Jim was absolutely extraordinary. There was no time of day that Jim would not respond--by phone, text, or email. He stayed on top of every detail, immediately flagging concerns, adjusting plans when needed, and making sure nothing slipped through the cracks. Every step of the way, I knew I was in good hands--and more importantly, that my daughter was in good hands. Jim was incredibly patient and took the time to explain each step of the process. During a moment when a family is vulnerable and could easily feel taken advantage of, Jim did the opposite--he helped me clearly understand costs and provided thoughtful options to help contain them. His integrity never wavered. I had a special request to see my daughter before she was transported home, which became especially challenging due to an upcoming three‑day holiday weekend and limited time in country. Jim personally ensured this happened--coordinating across borders, researching local funeral homes to match the level of care Wm. Sullivan & Son is known for, and staying in constant communication so I always knew what was happening. Because of Jim and his staff, I was able to see my daughter. That meant everything to me. Once I returned home, Jim guided my family through funeral planning with the same compassion and professionalism. The atmosphere of the funeral home was peaceful, and the entire staff was welcoming and empathetic. We were never rushed or pressured. On the days of visitation and the funeral, everything was flawless--all we had to do was show up, and Jim and his team handled everything with quiet excellence. One moment that will always stay with me: even at the cemetery, during the final moments, Jim personally walked the perimeter as the vault was being sealed, ensuring everything was properly aligned and done with care. It was not his responsibility--but that's who Jim is. From start to finish, the same attention to detail, compassion, and dignity never faded. I almost never write reviews--not on Google, not on Amazon--but Jim and the entire Wm. Sullivan & Son Funeral Home staff truly moved my heart. They made an unbearable experience feel supported, personal, and filled with compassion, and they cared for my daughter with the same love and respect I would have given her myself. I cannot thank them enough.

We started with Edward, he was very knowledgeable and very kind. We ended with Joseph, he too was kind and knowledgeable. We never had to plan a funeral before and it was so overwhelming but Edward and Joseph did not make that process hard at all. Our father looked so good, he looked just like himself. I've been to some funerals and sometimes the deceased does not look like themselves and I get it because the body changes after death but my father he look like he was just sleeping with a smile on his face lol. The makeup wasn't heavy and they dressed him so neatly and nice. They treated our loved one as though he was the most important person in the world. Overall, they did a phenomenal job because it was a very difficult time for us and they made the planning process easy to do. Thank you!

I was on the fence about writing and publishing, but figured this group has shown a very impressive effort that should be acknowledged. There are three tiny cemeteries in this half mile area of Woodward Avenue north of Eight mile Rd. in Ferndale proper. Machpelah sitting in the middle. Created in 1912 it serves as a peaceful, respectable environment for the Jewish community in 'Olam. I have a grandparent and father in law resting here and have made numerous visits over the years. The surrounding neighborhood has been in decline for a few years. This has not had a large effect on the cemetery. The grounds are notoriously well kept and the maintenance is second to none. While we have had limited contact with anyone associated with the grounds, there is always the utmost respect shown. Maybe I'm old school mentality on this issue, but I feel it important to maintain this park for the benefit of the surviving loved ones that wish to pay their respects.

Oct 2016 we buried my father there and it wasn't until July 2016 they finally threw some grass seed down to cover the grave. It was nearly a year before his headstone was placed. They did make sure to call and harass my mother MONTHLY for 2 YEARS for "extra services & grief counseling" even after declining those services with each call. Sept 3023 my mother passed, Wendy couldn't be bothered with us after we caught her in a lie within the first 5 minutes so she passed us along to someone else to finish up paperwork on a prepaid service. The day of the service, the workers were rude and rushed us along, talking loudly and being obnoxious the whole time. Then we were told they would have the headstone back in place, the brass death date added and grass fixed "soon". Well, it's been 8 months and nothing is fixed. I'm out there at least twice a month and it looks ridiculous.

Like to the point I wish moving her remains wouldn't be such a process and costly. Every big day or milestone that I come up here, the gates are shut. They never clean anything. For weeks after a storm, dozens of plots had things blown and broken and nobody touched it. There has to be one person working here from the work that gets done. The hours used to be "dawn to dusk" and now it's 5-6 hours a day. If you want to be able to actually visit your loved one and be proud of where they are, stay far away from here. Just tried to take my sisters at 4pm today to visit our mom for her birthday and realized it's now only open until 3pm. I understand having closing times but you are a place for the living to visit their loved ones and you put 5 hours in a day. What a joke.
