Cemeteries Overview

The city's cemeteries offer a final resting place for the deceased in well-maintained green space. The Oakwood cemetery is an historic landmark; many of Northville's founding citizens, leaders and veterans are buried there. The Rural Hill Cemetery is a larger, sprawling park-like setting with plenty of trees and a small lake. It has a special section for veterans. Both cemeteries are maintained by the Department of Public Works. Walkers are welcome but please be respectful of the grave sites and headstones; do not damage the property under penalty of law.  

To request a grave marking or arrange a burial service, please fill out a burial request form. To request a foundation installation for a memorial or monument, please fill out a Foundation Order From. For general information and to make a claim for a standard government headstone or marker, please review and fill out this form. These forms can also be downloaded from the links below the photos.
