Services
Wilkinson publishes complete package pricing on their website, a practice that eliminates the common industry problem of itemized add-ons. All burial packages include concrete vault and casket; cremation packages include alternative container and urn (except The Simple Goodbye). Cemetery fees, limousines, and cash advances remain excluded. Families can complete arrangements through in-person consultation or begin the process via online forms.
Wilkinson structures services around all-inclusive packages designed to eliminate surprise costs. Their tiered system allows families to select based on budget and desired service level, with even entry packages including professional services, transfer, embalming, and documentation.
Wilkinson Funeral Home occupies a single location at 1158 S Arlington St in Akron, Ohio, serving families with what they describe as "service from the heart." The funeral home maintains 24-hour availability for immediate needs through their main line at 234-334-1011. Their operational model centers on individualized funeral services with published, all-inclusive package pricing—a rarity in an industry known for opacity.
The business distinguishes itself through staff accessibility. Multiple family testimonials specifically name Brandee and Amber as primary contacts who respond to calls and emails outside standard business hours. This direct communication channel appears central to their service delivery, with families noting text and email availability throughout the arrangement process. The funeral home also provides online preplanning forms and immediate need intake forms for families facing urgent situations.
My experience was top tier. The staff was very helpful and responsive to our needs. Special thanks to Brandee for being helpful and supportive during this difficult time. I recommend this business to anyone who needs this service. Rest in peace to my dad Rick Clark.
I highly recommend their services. They did a wonderful job with my mother's service.
The best funeral home in Akron OH!
This wonderful team was professional, patient, compassionate, and trustworthy. No high pressure sales. They helped us to give my mom the kind of celebration of life that we wanted. They were great! We can't thank you enough, Wilkinson Funeral Home.
