Woodmere is one of the most historic cemeteries in the Detroit area. Since its founding in 1867 by a group of prominent Detroit businessmen, Woodmere Cemetery has remained one of Detroit’s “most beautiful treasures,” according to author Gail Hershenzon.

Accessible through a historic main entrance on West Fort Street, Woodmere features 250 acres with gently rolling hills and mature trees and a pond that once was fed by Baby Creek. The cemetery has three garden mausoleums in addition to a chapel mausoleum. Notables such as Scripps, Bacon, Finney and many more are interred here.
