Oak Grove Cemetery
Burr Street South of Van Born
Taylor, MI 48180
Wayne County
Oak Grove Cemetery is located on the West Side of Burr Street, just South of Van Born Road and West of Telegraph Road, in a residential area. It is now a city-owned property, and has had much "vandalism" done to the stones themselves. (many are kicked over, or pushed off the sites) Below are approximately 122 transcribed tombstones. This is not a full transcription of every single gravesite. If you have family or friends buried in Oak Grove Cemetery and would like them added here, please contact us and we will be happy to add your information.
