A Historical Tour of the Plainfield Cemetery (YouTube Video)
Tour guide Charles Weldon visits the graves of  Plainfield Township's historical personages.

The third Wednesday in August of each year is designated as “cemetery day” by state statute and is set aside as a day upon which people in the township may devote a portion of their time to the improvement of the cemeteries. The Township Board will direct the manner of making such improvements.

The thirtieth day of September in each year is also set apart and designated as a “Memory Day”. A Memory Day is to be used for the purpose of improving and beautifying the cemeteries and the graves located in the cemeteries so that the residents can show a loving and tender remembrance for the dead.

Cemetery Advisory Committee
The Cemetery Advisory Committee currently meets on the second Monday of each month at 11:00 A.M. at the Plainfield Charter Township hall located at 6161 Belmont Avenue. These meetings are conducted in accordance with the Michigan Open Meetings Act and are open the public.

The Cemetery Advisory Committee, consisting of up to five citizen members, who are residents of Plainfield Township and are owners of graves in a cemetery owned by Plainfield Township, and two members of the Township Board, is an advisory committee and will meet at least quarterly. The Cemetery Advisory Committee will consider the funding, operation, equipment and maintenance needs of the Township cemeteries, and make recommendations regarding long term planning for the Township cemeteries. The Committee’s purpose is to keep the Township Board apprised of the condition and functioning of Township cemetery facilities, equipment, and operations by visiting the cemeteries, consulting with building and grounds staff, and receiving input from citizens and users of the cemeteries. It is not the purpose or function of the Cemetery Advisory Committee to commit the Township to the expenditure of funds, to execute any document binding the Township, or to direct the activities of Township employees.
