Information for Funeral Homes

The following is additional information to assist funeral homes.

  1. All requests must be made at least 24 hours in advance.
  2. Requests for burials must be made by calling the Parks, Recreation and Cemeteries office at 323-8555 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
  3. Requests for Monday morning burials must be made prior to 3 p.m. on Friday.
  4. If a request for a Monday afternoon burial cannot be made prior to 5 p.m. on Friday, it can be made by calling our answering service (number issued to funeral homes only) on Saturday between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. You are requested, however, to make every effort to make the request on Friday. The answering service will reach a representative of the Cemetery Department who will get back to you as soon as possible. The service number is to be used only by Funeral Directors. Do not give this number to anyone else.
  5. On holidays recognized by Delta Township (New Year's Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day) you may call the answering service between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. to make burial arrangements. Again, you are requested to make every effort to call on regular work days.
  6. Do not call the service number in the evening, Saturday afternoon, or Sunday as your requests will not be recognized if you do so. Do not leave grave opening orders on the Township's voice mail system as the timing of when these get checked may not coincide with your request.
  7. If your client does not have a burial space arranged it is strongly suggested that you do not set the funeral time until you have spoken directly with us.
  8. When using the answering service do not assume anything is set until you hear from us directly.

All other business must be transacted between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Parks, Recreation and Cemeteries office or by calling 323-8555.

Opening and closing fees are to be paid at the cemetery on the day of the burial. They cannot be prepaid unless death has already occurred and it is more convenient for you to come to the office ahead of time. Opening and closing fees are per burial, even if both burials are to be placed in the same plot at the same time.

Burials must be scheduled prior to 4 p.m. (arrival time). If you arrive at the cemetery after 4 p.m., you will be assessed a late fee.

Family Independence Agency burials are drop-offs only (no tent set up, etc.). There is a reduced grave opening rate. Please contact us for details.

Veteran's Plaques
Please have them shipped directly to us at Delta Township Cemeteries, 7710 West Saginaw Hwy, Lansing, MI 48917. If you are placing it flush in the ground, we will do that for you at no additional cost above the cost to pour the foundation. We will recess it into the concrete. If it is to be placed on a monument, please make arrangements with the monument company to attach it, at whatever fees they charge. It can still be shipped here.
