2. History of Graveyards in Detroit The History of Detroit graveyards have fulfilled the needs and wants by providing a service for the community of metro Detroit. Without cemeteries the families of the deceased would have to drive a while to go to a funeral. The graveyard business also fulfills the needs because as long as people die their business grows and helps the economy of Detroit.

4. How Have they Changed Cemeteries have changed in many ways over the years. Today the prices to host this expensive event can cost over $2,000. Sure some may be fancier for richer or more important people, but it is still the sad loss of a loved one. The families mourning process have changed also. In the early/mid 1900’s the families would put a black wreath on the front door. The daughters would wear a black ribbon in their hair instead of a pink bow for several days. And at the funeral itself, the men and the boys would wear a black outfit and the women and girls would wear a black dress or skirt.

5. Conclusion Funerals and cemeteries have changed at lot over the years. But today they still are a beautiful sight and are very sustainable because their business is almost infinite, we predict that Cemeteries will never go out of business because people will continue to die. They are also sustainable because they are still a very strong business because of their relations with the families of the deceased. The biggest part of sustainability in the graveyard business is as early as 1893, citizens in depression- struck Detroit have been turning open, empty lots into cemeteries and graveyards. and graveyards We hope that locals will respect and learn more about cemeteries and their history, to keep the business going. And Detroit can rise out of its shell to come back to the beautiful city that it once was.
