Probably the nicest cemetery in Detroit, as there's an abundance of beautiful statuary.

Clora Funeral Home

Clora Funeral Home

Building is very nice on the interior and the staff are very nice, and comforting. I recommend.read more

Please share!!!!…read more Clora Funeral Home was the funeral home of choice to have my father in-law cremated. His son has cared for him through many trails, nursed him back to health, settled him in a nursing home, visit with him, and just watched him deteriorate. Over a decade of fighting for his father's life literally. Just to get a phone call on memorial day that his dad had transitioned. Clora was called to the funeral home to pick up the body and provide cremation services with filing the death certificate. The body had been cremated and was ready for pick up. Just when he was going to pick up the ashes he was told that he couldn't due to someone calling stating they are the deceased wife. The person is someone that may be from his father's past. However, he hasn't physically seen or heard from this woman in over 30 years. There is no insurance policy, the lady did not produce an marriage certificate and there is no public record of the deceased being married. The funeral home will not give a time line of how long they are allowing this woman to produce the document. This person lives in St.Petersburg, Florida and states she will come in person but hasn't. It's been over a week. When I asked the funeral home how will the refund of payment go if she produce a marriage certificate. I was told ashes are separate from the cremation service. I asked what does she mean? She stated anyone can pay for it and they would release them to whomever has legal rights. Which he is his legal guardian and power of attorney. Ending result: Each of us has been cussed out by the owner Major Clora and I was told he was his father Mr.Clora Sr. Coming to find out it was him all along. His unprofessional behavior and secrecy has left our family torn. He told us he will not speak with anyone anymore. Told us to go to probate court! Disrespected everyone in the time of grief and now we have to fight to get my father in law ashes. The person that called they have no conformation or information to back up anything. Also, we were told to speak with the owner on Monday. When called the owner said he was unavailable and it was himself. Completely crazy! I've reached out to Fox2news and will continue to reach every network/social media to expose this terrible funeral home. Please help us expose this funeral home for how they treat grieving families. DO NOT SUPPORT CLORAS FUNERAL HOME ON EAST 7-MILE IN DETROIT. LETS ADD THIS SAME PERSON SHOT AND KILLED HIS OWN COUSIN IN THIS FUNERAL HOME OVER MONEY HE OWED HIS COUSIN. THIS MAN IS A MEMBER OF 2ND EBENEZER ON E. 6 MILE IN DETROIT. HE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF RUINING FAMILIES DURING THEIR TIME OF GRIEF. HIS REPUTATION PRECEEDS HIM OF A JANKY DIRECTOR. I PRAY THAT GOD MAKES HIM DO THE RIGHT THING. I WISH WE NEVER TRUSTED HIM WITH OUR LOVE ONE!

I was a guest at an inurnment and the care and consideration that was given to the family and…read moreguests was excellent. 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.

Historic cemetery filled with notable Detroiters bearing such names as Ford, Dodge, Hudson,…read moreSanders, Aretha, and Rosa Parks as well as numerous Motown stars, sports celebrities, politicians, automotive executives, businessmen, and more. 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.

Yeah Not my style…read more I attended a funeral here recently and it was just very disorganized. Lots of seating but just a bit tacky and shabby overall. Everything just needs an update. Considering what.people pay for funerals I think they could make it much nicer and fresher. Funerals are depressing enough

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!!! When I decided to write this review I kept trying to think of nice…read morethings to say and the only thing I can think of is: very very unprofessional, cheap, fake, dirty, smelly, liar, opportunist. It's bad enough that you are going through one of the most difficult things a person has to do when you have to call a funeral home to entrust a loved-ones care to but when someone answers the phone as though you are calling their house (and you are), that's when the insult begins. If you're not wise enough to see through your grief and go someplace else after that, it gets worse when you walk into the place and the dank odor greets you at the door. The funeral home is very small, decorated very cheap and cheesy, is dusty, dark and old. The snowball continues to roll downhill when you meet with the funeral director, Iman (aka David) and you feel like you're at a used car lot. There is selling and upselling and recommendations for other services (i.e. flowers and obituaries) by people "he knows" and if you don't give in to it, his true nature comes out and he then works the system to give you the bare minimum that allows him to make his profit. He knows exactly what DHS and Social Security will pay to the penny and immediately doctored the paperwork so he could get every cent of it from them. When it came to paying our portion, we were instructed by David that he would only take cash or money orders. He does not accept any form of electronic payment at all. That sent off major red flags but of course by then, they already have your next of kin and the tab is running. The next hiccups came when they told us they only have a very old limo and do not have family cars and that we could not have a viewing/family hour at the funeral home because he does not work on Sunday so he can be home with his family. Many times I tried to contact David to drop off clothes and discuss things but would often get no answer or speak with his wife who answers the business phone from home. One of his employees is a member of a large church and he uses him to solicit customers, which is how we came to hear of Mercy Funeral Home. The misery grows when David contacts the cemetery and tells them that our deceased will require a larger casket and it won't fit into the vault we purchased. Therefore, the cemetery contacted us two days before the funeral and told us that they were cancelling our burial until we paid more money for a larger vault. We phoned David to ask why he called the cemetery and did not relay this information to us first and he denied it. Yet, when we questioned him about a larger casket, he then fessed up. I believe he did that so we would buy the burial vault from him instead of the cemetery. To make matters worse, he then told us that he did not have a larger casket for our family member. By now we were livid and couldn't wait to get the funeral over and be done with this scammer. I called around to casket retailers looking for a larger one to find out they only sell to vendors, not the public. One of them even told me that they were in litigation with Mercy Funeral Home for nonpayment and would "never do business with David again." The end result was they charged us an extra $100 and found a bigger casket. The funeral went off with a few more glitches like David passing out the obituaries before the service started or the family arrived and then hoarding a large amount of them in the car supposedly to save them for the family without anyone asking him to and leaving us short of programs during the service. Our final displeasure came when he interjected his Chaldean Catholic practices into our non-denominational burial. It was meant as a kind gesture but was inappropriate. When everything was over one of his employees asked if I would recommend them to other people? I think the look on my face answered his question and he just said "I understand."

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 just got a quote but we felt comfortable with them. They are family owned for a long time and…read morebelieve they will be there when I die.
