Riverside Cemetery is located on Plymouth Road west of Haggerty Road behind the new 35th district courthouse. (Courthouse address is 660 Plymouth Road, Plymouth, MI 48170.)
Riverside Cemetery is set amongst 12 acres of wooded hills in Hines Park. A small portion of the Cemetery was established in 1880 after the smaller York/Pearl Street cemetery reached capacity.
There have been changes made to the water system at Riverside Cemetery. The old spigots have been removed and consolidated into a dual head spigot located in the back of the Cemetery.

 As the City’s population
grew so did the need for
cemetery space.
Additional property was
then purchased by the
City in the early 1920’s.
Many prominent figures
from Plymouth’s history
are buried at the
Cemetery, including: the
first female judge, and
members of founding
families like the Blunk’s,
the Starkweather’s & the
Wilcox’s.
There are veterans from
the Civil War, the Vietnam
War, the Korean War, World War I and World War II. Each year for Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day the cemetery staff places a United States flag on each veteran’s grave in remembrance of their service.
