There are a lot of Armenians buried at Evergreen, as there existed only two or three Armenian undetakers in the 20th century in Detroit who did traditional Armenian burial rites.

One was Simon Javazian, who, I believe, had a funeral home on Woodward, directly adjacent to Evergreen, hence the use of that cemetary.

The other was Ed Korkoian, who did most of the burials at Woodmere, because of the proximity to the large Armenian community that existed in Delray.

The other interesting thing that I have observed is that a majority of the burials that took place at Evergreen utilized St. Johns in Southfield, and the burials that took place at Woodmere usually utilized St. Sarkis in Dearborn. Prior to the 1950's, funerals were held at the original Armenian church which was located at Hamilton and Collingwood in Detroit, which would have also lead to many burials at Evergreen.
