About Wilson-Akins Funeral HomeNorthwest Chapel

Wilson-Akins Funeral Home Northwest Chapel is an independently owned funeral home serving the Detroit area. As a full-service provider, they are equipped to assist families with a range of needs, though specific details about cremation packages, burial options, pre-planning, or veterans services were not available for this summary. Their direct cremation starting price of $985 is notably affordable and likely sits at the lower end of the Detroit market, which may be an important consideration for families working within a budget. Their Google rating of 3.5 stars across 31 reviews is below average for the funeral industry, where ratings typically skew higher, and the relatively low review volume makes it difficult to identify consistent patterns in customer experience — families may want to ask for references or speak directly with staff before making a decision.

I do not recommend using this funeral home at all! I used Akins for my mother who recently passed away. Their communication skills are absolutely terrible and the entire experience was unpleasant.

My service was professional and sympathetic when I lost my mother in 2021. David Akins answered all of questions and went out of his to provide the four white limousines that I requested. I highly recommend this business to send your loved ones to their final resting place..
