MEMORIAL SERVICE TO HONOR WAYNE COUNTY NEIGHBORS
UNCLAIMED AT WAYNE COUNTY MORGUE
Michigan Funeral Directors, The Jewish Fund, and the Archdiocese of Detroit
collaborate with partners to create respectful farewell for unclaimed citizens
WHAT: Members of the Michigan Funeral Directors Association from Wayne and Oakland
Counties, with the support of The Jewish Fund and the Archdiocese of Detroit, along
with a coalition of volunteers, announce a public memorial service and ceremonial
interment to honor the 200 Metro Detroiters whose bodies are unclaimed at the Wayne
County Medical Examiner’s Office. Other institutions, organizations, and businesses
have also generously contributed to resolve this sad reality.
The Interfaith service will be open to the community. It will be held on Wednesday, July
9, 2014 at 2 p.m. at Our Lady of Hope Cemetery in Brownstown Township.
The coalition has ensured that all of those who have remained at the Wayne County
Morgue long-term will be buried in individual, marked graves within 30 days.
Importantly, the coalition has established a plan to ensure that this situation never
happens again in Wayne County.
The public is welcomed and encouraged to attend to pay respects to their neighbors,
along with family members of the deceased.
Please see attached for complete information on this effort.
