Venue Information

For over 100 years, we have served families with dignity and compassion, providing the highest standard of care. In 1917 on Woodward Avenue in Highland Park, Michigan Angus J. McInnes founded the A.J. McInnes Funeral Home. Albert J. Desmond joined Mr. McInnes in 1930 and shortly after we become known as McInnes-Desmond Funeral Directors. The next generation of Desmonds entered funeral service when two of Albert's sons Terry and John, joined McInnes-Desmond in the 1960s. In 1973 the firm became A.J. Desmond & Sons Funeral Directors when it established a premier location on Crooks Road in Troy. In 1990, Terry's daughter Kathy Desmond Barr and in 2008, his son Kevin joined the firm. Both are third generation family funeral directors. Through the years, several other Desmond family members have been involved; today Margaret Desmond contributes much to the firm.
