I have taken two tours at Elmwood Cemetery, an Arboretum tour and an historical tour. Both tours were very well narrated and informative. While the Arboretum tour showcased the variety of trees, while enjoying a walk in the beautiful grounds of a park-like environment, the Historical tour explored in depth, themes of local history, architecture and notable burials. Amy, the Director of Historic Foundation, is the curator behind both tours and has done an amazing job offering these kinds of events to our communities.
Elmwood Cemetery is a historic cemetery in the heart of Detroit, Michigan. I went there recently to visit some of my loved ones' grave sites. The staff was very helpful at precisely mapping out the graves (3 to be exact) and even provided some nearby landmarks to make it easier for me to find them and it worked. I found all three of them fairly quickly.
The grounds at Elmwood Cemetery are very well kept and beautifully landscaped. There's also a small lake and fountain on site that adds to the tranquility of this historic landmark.
This was one of the last places I wanted to visit before moving further south. Came here to come look at my fathers grave one last time before leaving. We laid him to rest here over 4 years ago and I’m grateful to God that the groundkeepers are keeping his section clean and well taken care of. There are many sections here and I’m glad the people who work here are understanding of how love ones can feel during times of grief.
