Welcome to Downes & Wilson Funeral Home

Funerals are for the living… it is a process that assists the emotional needs of families, folding death into the circle of life and love.
The trauma and sorrow of losing a loved one make it very challenging to engage in the analysis and decision-making of funeral arrangements. The many services that Downes & Wilson provides, facilitate what is really a very personal decision, an expression of your feelings, and your final tribute to the personality and taste of your loved one.
