Our story
Shoreline Memorial Services began with a simple idea — to offer families in Muskegon the same professional standards and compassionate care found at larger funeral homes, but with greater personal attention and transparent pricing.
Since opening our doors, we’ve helped hundreds of local families plan meaningful services that reflect both their loved one’s life and their family’s values.
