Mt Elliott Cemetery
1701 Mt Elliott
Detroit, Michigan 48297 USA
(313) 567-0048
Mt. Elliott was consecrated in 1841—just four years after Michigan became the 26th state of the Union. A committee of leading citizens of the day, including the architect Robert Elliott, founded the cemetery. Elliott died in a construction accident only 12 days after the property was dedicated, and so it became known as Mt. Elliott Cemetery. Given its unique place in Detroit’s history, Mt. Elliott serves as an important final resting place for many generations of both prominent Detroiters and everyday citizens. Visitors to Mt. Elliott will find a remarkable collection of monuments featuring the names of well-known Detroiters such as Beaubian, Campau, Moross, Palms and many others.
