I know of some that have had family member exhumed to move remains out of the city. It is just too dangerous to visit gravesites in the city. Detroit is in very bad shape. I did not feel safe at the cemetery.

True but sad. We just moved down here from the Detroit area and it was getting to the point that we were afraid to go downtown for anything. (Sports, weddings, etc.) It's sad that you have to fear for your life when attending an event in a town. It was well publicized that the police were very slow at answering calls and the ambulance response time was miserable. Too many shootings that they couldn't keep up. Crime is out of control, government is corrupt, school system is over 300 million dollars in debt. The rest of Michigan is a beautiful state but Detroit is pulling it down with it.
