ALBION, MI [DOM] – Holy Ascension Church, Albion, MI recently announced openings in their newly blessed cemetery. His Eminence Archbishop Daniel of Chicago and the Midwest recently blessed the newly formed cemetery this past June.
According to their parish website, the cemetery is located just north of Albion, Michigan, at 13526 29 Mile Road, which is also the location of our planned new temple. “Our cemetery allows us to bury parishioners and other Orthodox Christians without the expensive and unnecessary requirements (vaults, embalming, etc) of municipality-owned cemeteries.”
The parish also has a vision to develop the new cemetery over time, “We envision it as a place of beauty: trails, pathways, stone walls, a lychgate, benches, and gardens will be added as we continue to develop it. Currently (as of Sept 2024) we have about 240 plots available, with a total over 1000 planned once the rest of the ground is cleared and made ready.”
