The Ahnerts
Bülow Moese Mausoleum
Johnson Mausoleum
Erected about 1910 This mausoleum stands at the intersection of four sections and the chapel. With the modern layout of the cemetery, it’s probably a more prestigious location than it was originally erected and it is highly visible and hard to miss. It’s a fairly large mausoleum – not as big as the massive, under-occupied […]
The Pulver Mausoleum
Jennie Pulver Tobias passed away heartbreakingly young at only 34 years of age, and this loss was obviously greatly felt by her family. The mausoleum was purchased and erected to entomb this lost daughter and wife and the epitaph over the door is mourning her loss. According to findagrave.com, the entire Tobias family is interred […]
Brizzolara Mausoleum
Three generations are interred in this mausoleum, following the maternal line.

The Tang Mausoleum
Cecelia Tang 1930 – 2013 Cyril Chung Ying Tang 1930 – 2018 This isn’t exactly a mausoleum, but I’m not sure what else you would call it except for incredibly tranquil and beautiful. Mr. Tang died in 2018 and I believe that this must have just been finished as the landscaping isn’t completed yet. It […]
Steve John
Steve John, “King of the Gypsies*” 1861 (Serbia) – 26 February 1926 (Detroit) I really expected to learn nothing about this mausoleum, all bricked up and with such a simple name, but a clue in the form of a note on the findagrave.com record pointing out the cross on top of the mausoleum read “King […]
