In addition to chapel services throughout the year, the staff at White Chapel takes great pleasure in presenting a series of engaging annual events designed to showcase and preserve some of our best-loved holiday traditions. You’re invited to come join us in our celebration.
Every year, White Chapel celebrates its Annual Tulip Festival by planting over 50,000 tulips, including new and unique blooms rarely found anywhere else in the world. These rare bulbs have been imported directly from Holland in the Netherlands. While there will be no Photo Contest in 2022, everyone is welcome to visit the park and enjoy this year's spectacular display.
White Chapel honors Mother's Day by offering carnations to all our visitors.

During the period surrounding Patriot Day each year, White
Chapel hosts its Troop Care Package Collection Drive to provide “a little bit of home and comfort”
to overseas military troops. During the annual drive, White Chapel collects new items for care
packages that troops might ordinarily find in their homes back in Michigan.
Item collection
takes place beginning at the Patriots Race event and continues through the following week. Week day
and Saturday collections are 12 - 4 p.m. Drop off your donations at the Patriots Race, or at the
Temple of Memories at White Chapel Memorial Park Cemetery at 621 W. Long Lake Rd. (west of I-75) in
Troy.
A complete list of
suggested items to donate can be found HERE.
Our caring experts will be glad to answer any questions you may have about these events. Click here to contact us.
