Celebrating Michigan Memorial Park’s 100th anniversary on October 18 was an especially emotional day for our family.
“Today, I visited the memorials of so many of my family members, and I cried,” said Kelly Dwyer, fourth-generation owner and President of Michigan Memorial Park. “It was such a special day — one filled with reflection, gratitude, and love.”
Heidi Umin, fourth-generation owner and Vice President, also marked the occasion by honoring their mother, Barbara Heston, who proudly carried forward the legacy of Michigan Memorial Park as a third-generation owner.
For our family, this anniversary is more than a milestone. It is a moment to remember those who came before us, to honor the legacy they built, and to feel deeply grateful for the community we have been privileged to serve for 100 years.
