About Us

Why should you choose us?

Mission Hills Memorial Chapel, Crematory and Gardens and North Shore Memory Gardens are family owned facilities. Crystal Springs Cemetery, while owned by the City of Benton Harbor is run by same family. Please see owner Bert Edquist’s story on our pre planning page by clicking on this link. Bert’s experience and the struggles his mother faced when his father passed away unexpectedly give him a deep understanding of what families who experience a loss are going through.

Professionalism

We are members of the Michigan Cemetery Association of which Bert is a past president. Also, we are members of the International cemetery, cremation and funeral association. Our staff has the experience guiding loved ones through loss. Your service will be handled sensitively and correctly on the first and only opportunity. We live by the words of Maya Angelou, “People will forget what you did and what you said, but they won’t forget how you made them feel.”

Bereavement Support

Many health experts agree that our society does a poor job in addressing the needs of people who are grieving. If you wish, we can guide you to a local bereavement group.

Cremation

We are the only crematory in Niles, Michigan and in Cass County and our cremation specialists are certified through the Cremation Association of North America (CANA). The crematory is open to inspection at any time. We also welcome family members at the time of the cremation of their loved one and assure you the peace of mind that your loved one will be handled by our specialists with the highest standards of care and accountability.
