The Great Lakes National Cemetery (GLNC) in Holly is a grand property that gives tribute to our…read moreloved ones that have served our country in a branch of the military. On this occasion we said goodbye to my cousin's dear father, who served in the Army. This place memorializes military Veteran's self-less service with dignity, honor and the respect that they deserve. Here in Holly, Michigan is just one of the 155 national Veteran Affairs (VA) gravesites available. Burial in a VA national cemetery is open to all members of the armed forces and Veterans who have met active duty service requirements and have been discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. Their spouses, minor children and, under certain conditions, dependent unmarried adult children are also eligible for burial even if they pre-decease the Veteran. As part of our family estate planning, this will be the resting place for my beloved parents when the time comes, which I hope is a long time from now. The bonus for our Veterans, Service Members or Family Members is that they may receive this benefit at absolutely no cost. Yes, NO COST! It is includes the gravesite, a white headstone or grave marker, a burial flag, Presidential Memorial Certificates, opening and closing of the grave, a grave liner and perpetual (ongoing) care of the gravesite. The grounds are beautifully manicured. The rows of aligned white headstones are pristinely maintained and marked. This is truly a sight to behold knowing who these headstones represent. Once you enter the main entrance to the GLNC from Belford Road you drive down the avenue of flags which is literally a pathway of American flags. The administration building is to your left. This area is organized with designated lanes for multiple services to take place on a moving schedule. Your car processional to your committal shelter for the final military honors is timely and proper. The committal shelters are complete with seating for the family with additional standing room. For subsequent GLNC visits, there is a Gravesite Locator kiosk in the lobby of the administration building along with maps to find your loved ones place of burial by typing in their last name. I interacted with half a dozen staff members on this day and they were all very professional and polite, even one extending his condolences. Tip of the day: Please allow extra travel time for construction and highway backups to arrive on time. Google Car Play will give you the heads up for unexpected lane closures and alternate routes. To the buried service members: Thank you for your service!

My family has been using Hill Funeral Home for generations…read more They always gave us first class service and have been caring and easy to work with. When my Mom died in 2013 we went in to make a few last minute arrangements. When they found out that my Mom was the grandniece of my grandma's Aunt Bessie, they moved her funeral from one of the back rooms to the front room, without us requesting it. It was very kind of them.

We chose Hill Funeral Home not because we had any prior experience with them, but because of their…read moreproximity to Great Lakes National Cemetery AND they were in the network of my father's pre-planned funeral arrangements. I was looking to stay along the I-75 corridor to make it easiest for the people attending to navigate (funeral home, then cemetery, then restaurant all very close to the freeway). As it turned out, the people at Hill were wonderful to deal with for my father's funeral service. Michelle was very prompt with email and phone interactions. Theresa met with us, took the notes, made the plans and, from there on out, looked after ALL of the details for us. The facility itself is perfect. We did not have a religious person to call on for the actual memorial service part but Theresa was able to find us a lovely pastor by the name of Sarah who did a great job. As a family we were delighted with the services that Hill provided for us and would highly recommend them to anyone else requiring their services; especially if they needed to coordinate with Great Lakes military cemetery.

Of course we were devastated when our Dad died. None of us had ever planned a funeral. My dad had…read moremade his wife's funeral arrangements at Wint a year and a half ago, so naturally we selected them because we remembered how kind and compassionate they were and there was no hint of it being fake. They truly cared. Aside from my poor brother who was in Florida during my dad's death and then had to move his body back to Michigan, It was set on me to make ALL the arrangements -- from -- New Jersey. None of us had ever a planned a funeral before; I was so freaked out! Tim and the whole staff at Wint are ABSOLUTELY Wonderful!! They coordinated everything wth the florist, the church, and the after-service luncheon. They did things for us that we never expected and had no idea to even do. I know there is probably more I've forgotten and I will add them later. If you want peace of mind and compassionate people to help you through probably one of the most awful and heart wrenching moments in your life. Use Wint. Thank you all so very much!!
