It was a pleasure to communicate with this service, especially with Rosemary, who was polite, considerate and helpful.

They were immaculate. They were very accommodating going above and beyond for my Gran’s funeral. My family set high expectations and they surpassed each mark. I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat.., You won’t find a better team to handle your loved ones home-going.

I lost my husband, Dr. Donald George Blackman on 8th February, 2022. As part of ensuring his return to his homeland, Barbados, for his service, cremation and the burial of his ashes, I engaged the services of Downes and Wilson Funeral Home. If customer service had another name, It would be Downes and Wilson. They were kind, courteous, patient and accommodating. Their service was excellent and even that is an understatement on my part. I had no problems as I laid my husband to rest on March 1 2022. To Christine, Sheradan, Mr. James Wilson and the rest of the staff at Downes and Wilson, thank you for making easy work of a very difficult period for a grieving widow. I will never forgot you and all you did for me. Most assuredly, I wholeheartedly recommend Downes and Wilson Funeral Home.

I can only say that during my tragic loss which was so unexpected, Downes and Wilson were the most professional and understanding company I could have dealt with. All their staff were considerate, extremely smart, and I know my husband would have been so pleased with the send off they gave him. Highly recommend
