About Ellis Funeral Home

Ellis Funeral Home is an independently owned funeral home serving the Detroit area, which means families are typically working directly with local ownership rather than a regional or national corporation. As a full-service provider, they are equipped to handle a range of needs, though specific details about offerings such as pre-planning, veterans' services, or grief support were not available for this summary. Their direct cremation starting price of $745 is notably affordable and likely sits on the lower end of the local market, which may be an important consideration for families working within a budget. Their Google rating of 3.5 stars across 21 reviews is more modest than many comparable providers, and the relatively small number of reviews makes it difficult to identify consistent patterns in customer experience — families may want to read through those reviews carefully and consider reaching out directly with questions before making a decision.

DO NOT RECOMMEND. My teenage son tragically passed away and the level of unprofessionalism I experienced at Ellis was astounding.
