Legacy

Our story

The Wilson Funeral Home was founded in 1946 by Robert G. Wilson at its original location, 1139 Blaine Ave. Over the years, the Wilson Funeral Home has been locally owned and family managed through two generations of families, Robert G. Wilson Sr. and his son, Robert G. Wilson Jr. and Edward L Tomczak and his son, Neil L. Tomczak. In 1999, Neil opened the current location at 1212 Lathrop Ave. In November 2009, the business was purchased by Michael Calliari and Christopher Chvilicek who have almost 30 years of combined experience as funeral directors at Wilson Funeral Home.
