Generations Funeral and Cremaion Services were very easy to work with- our brother's death (like…read moremany other families- his death was very unexpected) and although we knew my brother wanted Direct Cremation -his children had no idea of a provider for these services nor did I (being from Texas). When I spoke with my sister about this, she advised that Generations Funeral and Crematory services advertised in Saint Francis Church Bulletin and since I often go to church virtually at Saint Francis here in Ann Arbor and she was a parishioner for years there, I decided to give them a call. I thought that we would have to arrange everything in advance but that was not the case. All three providers that I contacted told me that I could just call when the time came and we needed their services. When our brother died we gave them a call and they were able to assist us in getting all the paperwork we needed in order to proceed with direct cremation. They made it very simple and since we were a bit of a distance all we had to do was send them the signed paperwork by email. At that point I contacted them to pay for this and it was a very reasonable amount. They picked my brother up at the morgue at the hospital and transported him into their care. They obtained all the licensing and permits and transported him to the crematorium. He was cremated within a few days and then his ashes were returned to the Ann Arbor location so that it was very easy for us to get there and pick them up. While I was there they gave me very good guidance. I will be flying home eventually and there are issues with transporting ashes across state lines and of course getting through security so instead of placing them in a small urn that I had purchased, Nancy (I hope that is her name!) was kind enough to package some up for me in a little clear container so that I can show it at the airport and I can go through security, they also provided me with the paperwork I will need to show related to the cremains. We were very pleased with their services and felt that the customer service in particular was exceptional. We would recommend them for any type of funeral services from direct cremation to a regular burial. I believe they do it all.

After a friend suggested a cemetery lantern tour as a fun fall activity, I was able to add Highland…read moreCemetery as a new local gem that I had uncovered. Located in a hilly area that overlooks Ypsi's downtown, it is a peaceful, park like setting with rolling hills, and is just spectacular in the fall. After the nighttime lantern tour, we decided to come back during the day to see the place a little better. We could not have picked a more gorgeous day to see the fall colors against the blue sky, and we were able to see many of the thoughtful and beautiful monuments that were left to family members and loved ones as we meandered through the walkways. Rich with local history (which we learned about on the lantern tour, and could appreciate even more so in the daytime), we saw others enjoying the setting as well, as more than a few power walkers passed us on our afternoon stroll. Whether you visit for the nighttime tour, or just want to take a closer glimpse at an Ypsi local gem, Highland Cemetery is a place that you just might add to your list of local favorites as well!

There weren't any maps or coordinates to her grave site that were readily available, so I called the office. Though I would be arriving after the office closed, the staff printed up thorough maps and information to help guide me to her resting place. I got three maps from them and a list of the family members from her family who were buried there. What could have been like searching for a needle in a haystack was an absolute breeze, thanks to their help. They left the information in a little envelope taped to the door with my name on it. So easy to work with. I also want to add that the grounds are just beautiful. You can tell that this peaceful place has quite the history. If I had more time there, I would definitely have taken a nice walk through the grounds. Such a lovely and calming place.

They helped me with all of the arrangements, explained everything to me so that I could understand what was going to happen and what I needed to do. The people that prepared my husband did an amazing job of making him look so good and peaceful. Everyone who came to the viewing said the same thing. I know that the ceremony at the cemetery will be just as nice. All of the employees were so kind, caring and helpful at all times. No matter how many times I called to ask questions they always had answers. I would highly recommend this funeral home to anyone who wants to have the best quality funeral or cremation for their loved one. I felt that the prices were very reasonable and there were so many options for caskets, etc. They even helped me with my own flower arrangement for my husband. Thank you to all of the employees at the Westland facility. So grateful, Priscilla Booth
