Michigan Memorial Park Earns National “Cemetery of the Year” Honors
Flat Rock, MI – Michigan Memorial Park was recently honored with the prestigious Cemetery Excellence Award by American Cemetery & Cremation, a national organization. With over 20,000 registered cemeteries across the US, only one is selected for their highest honor.
Michigan Memorial Park, located in Flat Rock, Michigan, was selected based on tough criteria by their peers which included overall park aesthetics, innovations, superior maintenance, and a responsive management team and staff.
“We are very proud of the people who work here and the dedication and compassion that they bring to work every day. We are extremely honored to receive the Cemetery of the Year Award and we will continue to serve our community with the highest standards of excellence and integrity,” says Kelly Dwyer, President/Owner of Michigan Memorial Park.
For nearly a century, Michigan Memorial Park, situated on 290 acres along the banks of the Huron River, has been the premier cemetery for the Downriver community. Michigan Memorial Park is known for maintaining the highest standards of service, impeccable ground maintenance and community involvement. Their first-rate reputation has been earned by all four generations of this family owned and operated establishment.
Michigan Memorial Park is also one of the most innovative cemetery parks in the nation, constantly evolving with future trends while maintaining their elegant historical flavor.
Michigan Memorial Park is a non-denominational cemetery, serving the rites and rituals of the people in their community, although they do have a designated, consecrated Catholic burial area featuring one of the largest bronze crucifixes in the country. Other notable Park landmarks include the 35-foot-tall Lighthouse with burial niches on the banks of the Huron River with a working beacon, the Garden of Angels Mausoleum, the Shrine of Remembrance Mausoleum, the Butterfly Memorial Garden, The Oaks Complex, and The Eternal Flame honoring our Veterans.
Since its inception, the owners of Michigan Memorial Park and Michigan Memorial Funeral Home have been leaders in the community supporting many non-profit organizations by hosting community blood drives, food and clothing drives, fishing derbies for children with disabilities, a vigil for those that have lost children, a walking club, and a free lending library.
Although their companies are separately owned and operated, Michigan Memorial Park, Michigan Memorial Funeral Home, “The Witness Crematory” and the on-site Flower Shop, all give families united, high-quality service and assistance, when it is needed most.
