One of the best resources for Michigan (or any state) is the State Library. They have records on microfilm that you can borrow by going to your local library and requesting an inter library loan, where they will send the microfilm to your local library.
Here is the official Michigan website and has the answers to your question on how, what and where records can be found.
http://www.michigan.gov/hal/0,1607,7-160-17449_18635—,00.html
Another source is your nearest LDS Church Family Research Center. They also have access to microfilm and can lookup the film you need, order it from Salt Lake City, and allow you to browse the film. It used to cost $2.50 for them to rent it for 2 weeks. You can search their site at www.familysearch.org.
From the Michigan site:
The Library of Michigan has entered into an agreement with The Generations Network (Ancestry.com) to digitize these Michigan death records. Funding from the Talbert and Leota Abrams Foundation is making this digitization project possible. The death records will be loaded into a database that will be indexed and easily searchable. All scanned images will be provided for FREE on the Library of Michigan’s Web site. Users from across the country will be able to access the database and download death records from the comfort of their home computer.
You could post the name here and someone might be able to help.

You should locate the County’s Genealogical/Historical sites. I, too, want information and since records on Ancestry are limited, have had to resort to research requests where I can find them.

You will need to find where your relatives were registered then do a paper chase, you could have a look at http://www.rootsweb.com someone else might be looking for them.
Good look and good hunting

If you know the names and time frames you can do it the old fashioned pre-internet way and make a request from Vital Statistics. Each department does it a little different as far as how narrowly they’ll look for you so contact the department and find out how much they need to know. There may be a small fee for the copies.
The local geneaological society is also a great resource. They may already have the records on hand.
