Wilson Funeral & Cremation Service

Wilson Funeral & Cremation Service, located at 5301 Albemarle Road in Charlotte, North Carolina, is a trusted funeral home with a rich history spanning over 90 years. Since its founding in 1926, the establishment has evolved through several name changes and locations, always maintaining a steadfast commitment to serving the East Charlotte community with dignity, respect, and compassion. Originally established as a partnership between D. K. Sing and Benjamin E. Douglas—who served as mayor of Charlotte and namesake of Charlotte Douglas International Airport—the business began as Douglas & Sing Mortuary. Notably, it operated the first ambulance service in Charlotte. In the 1950s, employees Bill Miller and Marcus Kerns purchased the location, renaming it Miller & Kerns Funeral Home. In 1980, Donald R. Wilson acquired the business and moved it to its current site, a former Good Shepherd Lutheran Church building on Albemarle Road, establishing Wilson Funeral and Cremation Service. Today, the funeral home is part of the Dignity Memorial network, offering families a 100% service guarantee and access to a wide range of resources.
