Schedule a Burial

Burial Arrangements

A Burial Request Form must be submitted to the Clerk's Office in-person, by phone or by email at least two business days before the time of burial. A confirmation of receipt and burial date and time will be communicated in return.

Financial Assistance for Burials

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services offers emergency support designed to assist low-income households that are normally able to make ends meet but occasionally need help when unexpected emergency situations arise.

When the descendant's estate, mandatory copayments, etc., are not sufficient, burial payment assistance from MDHHS may be available to help pay for burial or cremation.
