In 1952, the late Clarence Pederewski Wilson and his brother, the late Sumner J. Wilson, founded the Wilson Funeral Home. They worked closely together, assisted by their wives, to craft a family business that boasted the highest regard for the families they served. “A Wilson Service” soon became synonymous with integrity, compassion and quality.
The legacy at Wilson Funeral Home continues. In March of 2004, Wayne L. Bright joined the Wilson Funeral Home as Manager. Under his leadership, the Wilson Funeral Home continues to lead the industry in providing the very best in funeral service. The funeral home has progressed in many different aspects, including the purchase of two new limousines, a website (
www.wilson-funeralhome.com), a DVD memorial tribute, along with a flat screen monitor in our chapel for the viewing of the tributes.
Because of the rich tradition and the superior service, the Wilson Funeral Home stands alone in serving the most notable members of our community, offering every family served a personal and professional service regardless of their social or economic status.
The Wilson Funeral Home continues to generously support the community and other African American owned businesses. “A Wilson Service”, the legacy continues.
