Best Cemetery Sterling Heights Near Me

girlytoads: Enter this beautiful cemetery through the condo parking lot on Schoenherr. Plumbrook directions will only get you to a fence ☹️

Stephen Warner: I grew up on Cloverlawn in the 70's and 80s. We used to play football on the flat, northwest side and sled in the winter on the hill. There are many headstones that were damaged when I was a kid and don't see them now. When I've been back its very hard to get in without climbing the fence. Before the land between the cemetery and Schoenherr was developed there was Old Schoenherr that ran from Cloverlawn/Utica Rd over to the 7-11 on Plumbrook. So many memories in that place. I hope they can maintain it forever. Great work Walter Sands!

Dave Cook: There is no entrance to the cemetery

Chris N: My experience with resurrection cemetery is 95% positive. The majority of the staff is very supportive and helpful and the grounds are properly maintained. I visit my grandparents grave site twice a week and it’s very beautiful and peaceful. The only complaint I have is the grounds crew throws away our European funeral lanterns regularly. We specifically chose this cemetery due to the large number of Polish friends and family buried in the “Polish section.” With my large family there is someone at my grandparents grave site every day. Most resent (this past Wednesday) we visited for my grandpa’s birthday and lit candles in the lanterns. These candles last 2 days….. My uncle went the next day and everything was thrown away (lantern’s, candles, and flowers.) My mom attempted to call the office to see if we could get our lanterns back and an explanation. She was transferred to a very rude staff member named Lyn who was argumentative, spoke over my mom and transferred her to someone else before my mom could get a question answered. Luckily we spoke with someone else who had kindness and compassion, however we still don’t have an answer. I would expect when staff has a bad day, they don’t take it out on grieving family members as Lyn has.

Linda AccettolA: Could you please post the proper dimensions for plot flower boxes We would appreciate it Thank you

Manuel: The only good reviews are from families that buried their loved ones with no idea how this cemetary operates. They move burial sites without filing proper paperwork or informing the families & have had more than one instance where they have “accidentally” destroyed another persons grave while digging a new one. It starts from the top, but there is little accountability outside of the person replying to all the reviews to make it seem like they care. Operate better. Get better systems in place. Hold the grounds keepers accountable.

THORINtheRED: These people will defile the remains of your loved ones, and then hide the evidence. It will take a judges order and the news media for them to admit even a modicum of guilt. They are money hungry, sleezy, and care none for the respect you expect for your deceased loved one. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY

Mark Young: George Horattass went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and explained everything in detail as to what I should expect!

Rian Boyle: Resurrection Cemetery is very nice

Lisa Campbell: Good service but you pay through the nose for it. $21k for my BIL’s crypt is an obscene abuse of customers who are in need.

Motria Schulte: It was a pleasure to do business with Resurrection cemetery. George Horattass went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and explained everything in detail as to what I should expect!All the staff were cordial, knowledgeable and extremely accommodating.Not to mention that the grounds are immaculate!

SENAN alqoshnaya: My dad sleeping here for one year and half, this place it's clean and very quiet I like sitting next my dad and talk with his soul ,I feel better when I did that, thanks for all your service ,awesome stuff 🌷🌷

Lori Waters: Beautiful, beautiful Cemetery!!

k ran: This place has the worst groundskeepers. They constantly damage tombstones. Office doesnt care, they just want money. Find somewhere else. I wish I never came here.

Alex Moose: Sick people. Avoid this place. They’ll pile trash in your grave and avoid a TV/phone interview. The only way you’ll find out is when a rogue employee sends you photos.

Sheila Carbary: I hopped on here to get directions. My dad will be gone 2 yrs tomorrow. I am shocked at all the bad reviews I've seen. It is a very beautiful cemetery. But I was angered when they moved my grandmother without even telling the family. When I looked for her I couldn't find her. She was in the middle in one of the crypts. I finally found her on the bottom in the next section. It just is such a disrespect to the family to not be told. And from what others are saying about flowers being regulated. It's not a showroom! You should be able to adorn the graves the way you want. All flowers are beautiful! Still really upset that they would not tell us that they moved our loved one!

Maryann Ulicny: Beautiful, peaceful and well maintained

Donald Bo: I was overwhelmed at the compassion and professionalism that we received throughout the entire process for my mother. Dave Ferrara was very patient and accommodating. The cemetery grounds are beautiful. My heartfelt thanks to Dave and the entire staff.sincerely Donald

Renee Campbell: I am so disappointed in resurrection cemetery for allowing the sacred grounds to be used for event parking. There are plenty are parking lots to use for the fireworks, and I find it completely inappropriate and upsetting. I tried to reach out but Tim has yet to get back to me…

anna mastrogiovanni: Very well kept grounds, awesome staff, several burial site options.

Julie Haase: I am so disappointed. I live out of state, so I can't regularly tend to my grandparents' plots. Yesterday I was in town and stopped by. I walked past several headstones that were completely under water, which I understand happens sometimes. When I got to my grandparents, my grandmother's headstone was sinking down to the side and my grandfather's was completely missing. Someone had poured dirt and grass seed to the left of his grave and also all over his headstone. I had to dig out his headstone from under several inches of dirt and mud (luckily I had work gloves and baby wipes in my car), and when I finally got it dug out and cleaned up, I found scratches on it. I understand needing to lay down dirt and grass seed so there aren't giant spots of mud everywhere, but to carelessly cover someone's entire headstone in the process is just disrespectful. I didn't have time to check my other family members' resting spots while I was there, so now I'm going to worry what they look like until I can get back again.

Richard Mieszanek: This place was wonderful and peaceful to visit loved ones don't know what happened in llast year or so we visit loved ones often in section 10 and it seems like workers don't care anymore the grounds are a mess stones covered in mud can't even see some of them deep tractor tire marks all over we have been in office three times and nothing has been done I've seen flags cracked flowers not put back please get this place back to what is was

Amy Koza: This cemetery is beautiful. I have purchased from them twice. The customer service was patient both times and they cared about my concerns. They even sent compassionate videos about the grief process, after the burial.

Margaret Topous: Wow! Where is the perpetual care that they rave about??? Drastic opposite from Resurrection Cemetery nearby. Just there this morning and then went to CMGE to check on graves of family. More families need to see the state their loved ones grave are in. 😠

Gayle Ventimiglia: Extremely poor customer service. I stopped in the the office two months ago. I spoke with Norman and one other gentlemen who I can't recall. Norman was the better of the two but still not great. They had no idea what the Care Memorial Society was. I showed them the wallet card that I have and neither of them were familiar with it an did not seem interested in finding out. They had the opportunity to make a copy of my card and could had researched, but no such luck. I asked a few other questions that they could not answer and left my number with them. As of today, I have not received a call back. Also I was told that it cost $1,500.00 to add the ashes to the Niche which is a crime in itself. When the niche was purchased, we were told there would be no other cost, which is why my mother purchased as she is on a fixed income. All they do is lie and cheat. Also, the grounds are unkept, debris/garbage everywhere, no trach cans, rotting wood, graves covered over. Just despicable. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH ANY CADILLAC MEMORIAL LOCATION!

Chris Standifer: I had an absolutely phenomenal experience working with Alex Castonguay to help plan the service for my loved one who passed away. Alex was very kind, professional, and answered all my questions about the possible options to choose from. The memorial service went off with no issues and was exactly what my loved one would have wanted. I would highly recommend working with the staff here, especially Alex Castonguay.

Linda Sellars: Some many places to start with this 0 star review. My grandmother, a World War Two veteran, has had no marker to show her finally resting place since 1997. Three years in trying to have a marker placed have been detailed by these people who run the show at this cemetery. After paying what can only be described as an extortion fee by everyone in my family still no marker placed.Trust me and my families experience do NOT place love ones remains here. You will regret it.

Frank Stonehouse: Many family members are buried here. I went to place flowers on all their graves in October 2021 and the grave markers were all covered with grass … no cones for flowers … and the place seemed abandoned and poorly maintained. I feel like my family deserves better. I pushed away the grasses the best I could without the proper tools at hand.

Lisa Bolos: Just talked to a.lady yesterday about items that was on my sister's grave an she said we can get them off since they was removing the stuff SundayGo today (Thursday) to get them an they had already thrown the stuff away

Ashley Nicole: These men showed so much compassion and jumped right up to lift my grandparents' gravestone and level their plot. Ed, Larry and Norman, your help was all very much appreciated!! 🙏

Laura Suessine: My dad, mom and sister are buried there. This is an excellent place. My older sister and I went to visit and the staff took my sister out to the graves on their golf cart because couldn't walk that far because of cancer. They were great!

J l: I enjoyed it

David Sawicki: Veterans section should be kept up better

Tee Venti: Helpful staff and beautiful grounds.

Carol Kalvelage-Bohn: First time here. I had to drive around the outside of area to figure out how to get in off of main roads...perhaps I missed an entrance? Not sure but all I know is that the main entrance is at an Intersection and I was not able to go across and turn left! There is a huge no turn left sign on the street and on the traffic light but it was not easy for me to get in. Just a heads up! Lol...however...Inside was absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful grounds, well kept, quiet (obviously) but no noise from main road. Many many sections and gardens. I was able to locate the gravesite because I was on the phone with my Uncle. If this is your first time looking for a site, I would suggest calling a relative or the main office. I did not go in main office but it is right there in front. Easy access. I did not see many peoe but the grounds keepers were very respectful and kind to me as a visitor. I'm very glad I went here today. Very healing grounds.

Jamie Sweet-Burrows: My loved ones are in the Greek section. I like the setup of the place, easy to find the location I am looking for. Easy access from both major roads

leah soutar: I have a lot of friends and family buried here. I have been working here for almost a year and this place is really turning around. The staff is awesome, grounds crew are great, and our families are giving us complements every day! Give us a chance to change your mind and come see us!

Christina Blank: The new staff and owners are really turning this place around! They show compassion for families when they lose loved ones, and are trying their best to turn the older customers opinions around to be positive. Stop in and see the difference!!!!

Tyleen Phillips: My brother passed away last April 16, 2016. Melissa was awesome. She was truly helpful, sincere, & made sure my brother's site was well taken care of when I couldn't make it out. She went above and beyond. I love the cemetery, the staff, & the groundskeepers. This last year was very difficult on me, but Cadillac Memorial Gardens helped me get through it and were very compassionate and understanding.

Meredith Wronikowski: I am sad to see many poor reviews of this cemetery. Both my grandparents are buried here (this was because he was a Veteran, otherwise they probably would have been buried elsewhere by other family), but all I have ever experienced is a very nice and peaceful place. I also have a friend buried here and have heard of no problems. I also was treated nicely when inquiring the location of my past friend's grave. I will note, today while I decided to ride my bike up to my grandparent's graves, I witnessed someone drive right through the grass to leave onto 17 Mile Road as there is no fence. Even though it looked like there were no grave stones in that area (couldn't tell from the distance), I felt it was super disrespectful. The cemetery may want to consider placing more roth iron fencing along open areas to prevent this. Otherwise, I have no issues.

Jackie Herring-Prescott: Funeral held for Vera Laursen was here in their chapel. Very beautiful service. Could have supplied a microphone for the PastorHere with Donald Herring

Mark Grabow: The Most Disrespect I have ever experianced in my entire life--- Not did they only MISPLACE my fathers body 25 years ago they misplaced my mother in laws body and mismarked the grave 30 years ago -- I understand it is not the current owners fault but they refuse to do anything for the family even move the mismarked grave stone or notify the other families involved. The story is so deep and horrible you cant believe it now we can not place my father in law because we are not sure where anyone really is. I would STRONGLY discourage anyone from EVERY using this HORRIBLE company MMG Midwest Memorial Gardens are liars, thieves and ZERO respect for the deceased or the living family members are even worse and now they are destroying the precious things that people leave near the graves. I could understand if it was a problem but they dont even trim around it-- The People that have this issue should band together and file a class action lawsuit and bring the state in for the mismanagement of this company HORRIBLE JUST HORRIBLE . I can be sure not one of those employees have loved ones there! Trust me this will not be the last you hear from me!!

Zlatko Stevanovic: Pricing at this cemetery is ridiculous. Opening/closing costs are at least 30% higher then suburban cemeteries. Given the decline in business this cemetery has experienced; you would think they would aim to attract new business with competitive prices.

David Oravec: December 12, 2022 Update: The fiasco continues!November 7: I received a phone call from Ms. Taylor stating that my parent's companion headstone had arrived and was placed at their gravesite. I called Ms. Jones and we set a date for November 19 for mother's ashes to be buried with my previously deceased father's ashes.November 14: I made a visit to Forest Lawn and NO HEADSTONE! My father's headstone was removed so the bronze plaque could be installed on the new companion headstone, but the new headstone is not there. I went to the office to speak to Ms. Jones and she said she just found out the headstone was not placed and we rescheduled the burial for November 25 so that their companion headstone could be placed prior to the burial.November 25: My wife and I arrived for the burial and still NO HEADSTONE! I met with Mr. Bokas and he said the Supervisor was on his way and that the stone would be placed "next week". I asked if I could see their headstone, but he told me that the stone was in the back room storage and he couldn't take me back there. He also stated that he would send me pictures of the placed companion headstone.November 30 - I sent an email to Mr. Bokas asking when the headstone will be placed, here it is 13 DAYS LATER and NO RESPONSE!December 12: Here it is over a month after I was told that my parent's headstone has arrived and was placed, but that is not the case. I don't know if they lost my father's bronze plaque (which was paid for by the Veteran's Administration) when they removed his headstone and I'm not even certain that the companion headstone is even at Forest Lawn.This entire saga began on May 5, 2022 and my patience is at an end!!!Previous Post: I had an issue ordering a companion headstone for my mother and father, but John Bokas, Myrtis Taylor, and Carmen Jones finalized the design (30 days after I ordered and paid for it) and have ordered the companion base for my parents and the bronze plaque for my mother.

Roxanne Hallums: I’d give 0 stars if I could. My father passed in 2021 and my great grandparents and grandparents are there or I’d move him somewhere else. Ordered a headstone in February, it’s now August and I’ve been unable to even get an update on status. Also, they provided information late winter regarding tilling some soil in the spring to plant flowers. I paid the money to have that done. Memorial Day came, wasn’t done. I called to see when it would be done and they acted like they had no idea what I was talking about. When I explained to them what it was, they said they’d put a work order in. Father’s Day, still not done so I requested to have my money refunded. I have multiple calls into both Robert and Tamber and I can’t even get a call back. I’m disgusted with these people.Update: I did speak with the owner(?) as stated below in her response. However, the delay is not due to delays in supply chain, it’s because the headstone was never actually ordered until July. So, they took my money in February but didn’t order until July!!!! She did tell me she was going to cancel that order and place the order locally which is only a 6-8 week wait time. I will be calling to be sure it will be on time. I’ll update my review again when I see the headstone.October 14th update. Still no headstone and now Murdys says the order wasn’t placed until Aug 20th. Do not deal with these scammers. I’m so disgusted I’m speechless!!!!Oct 24: she promised me on the 14th (Friday) it would be here by the following Friday (the 21st). It is now October 24th. Still no headstone.November 1. Finally placed headstone.Thank you Myrtiss and Tamber.

Tanisha K: My mother and father head stone has been sitting for several months . My mom pass in December 2020 and her head stone was purchase before her burial . Forest lawn promised that the headstone will be put down spring of 2021. Today it’s October 2022 and my mom birthday is in a couple days and still ForestLawn has not put her and my fathers headstone that will be sharing together down. Just to mention my brother and I have talked to management several times about this situation. Also they need to do something about the pot holes in the back of the cemetery, someone is gonna need some struts driving thru there . This place is terrible and have terrible customer service . I really give them a hands down . Don’t bring your love ones to Forest Lawn Cemetery.

jenniferellison: Absolutely horrible! This cemetery was for years a well kept beautiful final resting place. Now, it’s literally in the toilet! Debris sits for almost a week. Grass is not cut in a timely manner. Trash everywhere. Clean up after storms are not happening. I had to drag THREE tree limbs off of my parents’ graves. Only to hear the excuses, “We are currently working on it and have been”. WHERE?!!! The limbs and branches are right where they fell. The personal at Forest Lawn over the past 5 years is constantly turning over and the excuses are even higher.Do Not Go There!!!!

Jessica Weaver: I would like to say that the cemetery grounds at Forest Lawn are well kept Carmen Jones has a very graceful spirit, she touch my heart with her kindness and respect this is and will continue to be my families cemetery. Thank You...

debbie magee: Emergency. Please help. Please take to Business Reviews sight and social media to plave a negative review of Forest Lawn Cemetery and Coles Funeral Home. Due to their incompetence, we must dig up dad and rebury him. Very painful for us.

Spring: My father recently passed and was placed in the wrong vault by Forest Lawn. His name was on the purchased vault and located a few feet from his burial site. No one took the time to check the vault prior to the interment. Instead, they used one of their cemented vault knowing we purchased one from the funeral home. After the interment, a counselor saw the vault and took a picture. It was too late then.. Now, after grieving the death of my father during his service and burial, we now wait for a 2nd burial-A heavy emotional burden!!

Curtis Maddin: Emergency. Please help. Please take to Business Reviews sight and social media to plave a negative review of Forest Lawn Cemetery and Coles Funeral Home. Due to their incompetence, we must dig up dad and rebury him. Very painful for us. You can search in Google for each busines. Go to the Reviews tab. Rate each business "one star." I will prove my more extended review in the comment section. 50 Reviews today should go along way.

A M: Please keep up the cemetery, this is not cool! The upkeep of this cemetery is poor! While visiting my mom's grave on Christmas a burial casket is just left out in the open. I was very disturbed and if I had an input on where to bury a loved one it would not be here! This is not the first time noticing things, just my first time posting.

steve zepke: Great service!!!

Peter Wilke: This is my first visit to Forest Lawn, I was very impressed by the facility. Well maintained, very nice and helpful staff. My family and I were looking for family buried 70 years ago. The staff looked them up and all but walked right to them. A heartfelt thank you.

Mariko Mae Ashley: Vincent Chin is buried here at the front of section 42 (I have included a map for anyone who is trying to find his grave.). Look for the large bush, his family tombstone with his mother and father are to the right of the bush, and Vincent is immediately behind them. He will never be forgotten and his impact on the Asian American community will live on forever.

Monty Gatson: The second time in as little as 4 months that someone has stolen my mom's headstone flowers. I put them on there late Saturday, early Monday they were gone. No sympathy at the office they could care less! What type of person steals flowers from a headstone???

K J: I have been calling for three weeks for payment resolution and each time I’m told Kim will return my call and she never does. Soooo unprofessional!!!

Debra Westbrook: Always clean & mowed. Very easy to find my Husband. Staff is great

Yolanda Arnold: My family has several plots and a few crypts here. Personnel is not very reliable. Got incorrect info when buying crypts with no resolution. Promised call-backs are never done. Corporate office is not very empathetic in re: to incorrect info by a former employee. Advise you to confirm/clarify ALL information on contracts.

Carol Ghesquiere: My family's site has been neglected, bushes untrimmed, tree growing through middle of bush and obscured most of the view of the memorial stone, markers getting covered with grass. Have visited the office, called on the phone, emailed letters starting May 2019. Promises have been made by Forest Lawn but as of February 19, 2020, nothing has been resolved.March 2020 update: Received a call from Forest Lawn stating a work order has been placed to perform maintenance. I've upgraded the rating from one to two stars and will adjust rating depending on outcome.

Dennis Wise: I have found the staff at Forest Lawn to be very helpful, especially Francesco. I have submitted work orders to have headstones reset, as they had heaved over time. The work orders have been completed at no charge to me, and staff has followed up with me to let me know that the work has been done.

Mike Spurlock: Francesco was extremely helpful. I was looking for my great-grandparents' grave markers and I doubt anyone has looked at them in 50 years. He went out of his way to help me. Not only did he drive out to the grave locations with me, Francesco got on his hands and knees and helped me dig up the sod to find their markers. Fantastic customer service! He said they are also going to raise my relatives' grave markers so they are easier to find in the future. Excellent service.

Al Miller: Beautiful even on the coldest of days.

John Bill: So popular people are dying to get in.
