Heroes Program

Woodlawn Cemetery is pleased to offer our Heroes Program, a tribute to those who risk their lives every day to protect and serve our communities. We sincerely appreciate the efforts made by all men and women in a public servant capacity.

In addition to provid­ing a burial space at NO COST to any police officer, firefighter, emergency medical technician, or veteran who dies while in the line of service, we provide SPECIAL PRE-NEED PRICING when arrangements are made ahead of time. Public servants, including retirees, may purchase a burial space for $100 on an advance of need basis only. Please email us if you would like more information, or call us at (313) 368-0010.

Only one discounted burial space can be pur­chased per public servant. A specific burial space shall be assigned by the Cem­etery and deeded to the public servant. If the public servant wishes to purchase an additional burial space or spaces for other family members, he or she may do so at our normal retail price in any section of the cemetery.

Please note that this program is not available to a public servant who already owns interment rights at the Cemetery or whose spouse owns interment rights at the Cemetery.
