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.
I’ve used the cemetery twice and the customer service was excellent. Going through bereavement, you want as easy a time as possible, and that’s exactly what they supplied.
