The office staff and Michael could not have been more helpful. I hadn’t been to my parents grave in 50 yrs.The office staff
gave me a map where my parents where, I had a hard time locating their grave but Michael took time from his busy schedule and located their gravesite site for me, also the cemetery is well taken care of.
Thanks again for all your help.
Beautful cemetary. All of the staff at Mt. Olivet is very considerate and helpful. I wanted to especially thank Michael. He generously shared his time and effort in helping our family.
Olivet always does a great job. I can fill out a request to have them clean up mom’s grave, since I’m not in Michigan and can’t get to it , and they do. Looks beautiful. Staff in the office is always helpful and kind.
