Established in 1982 in Atlanta’s Historic West End community, the Willie A. Watkins Funeral Home brand is synonymous with service. It is a full service funeral home providing individualized funeral services designed to meet the unique needs of each family. The location is staffed around the clock, every day of the year, to serve the community whenever needed. In every regard, Willie A. Watkins Funeral Home lives by its motto “Where the Name is Service”. Since its opening, the business has expanded to four locations. Each location is designed to make guests feel at home, and each is strategically integrated into the community it serves. Opened in 2006, the Douglasville location was converted from the town’s oldest church into a stately funeral home. It was started in response to request from residents who wanted quality funeral services in their community. We give back to the community in many ways, most notably through our annual 4th of July concert in a downtown Douglasville park, where local residents are invited to come out for a day of fun. The business has grown steadily over its five year existence, now averaging around 90 services a year. Hiring is done locally, so that employees are part of the community. The well appointed setting offers a comfortable atmosphere that evokes the feelings of home.

Reviews for Willie A. Watkins Funeral Home - Douglasville Chapel

Commodore Stone about Willie A. Watkins Funeral Home - Douglasville Chapel, 11/09/2020

I am getting the impression that Willie Watkins Funeral homes provide service based on the amount of resources being purchased from them. Hence the more you pay, the better service may be. I've used them twice over the last two years, and maybe it was based on the two locations. However my experience was more positive based when spending more money on services yet that was pertaining to the location downtown Atlanta. However with utilizing the Douglasville location I found\experience the following. 1.No follow up correspondence or follow up contact regarding any details of processing of deceased family member. 2. Untimely meeting upon initial meet for quotes. 3. Uniformed knowledge of personnel to provide pricing information. The bottom line to this review is I've had a family member/sister in which I had to lay to rest. It has now been two weeks since she passed. I was patient in awaiting the process yet, a this time I must call a second time to find out any details of what is or has taken place. The first time I called which was a week later I was told that the crematory service was backed up, and the person whom processed me is out on leave. (does she have no backup person)? I've had No contact to acknowledge when she has been cremated (it's been two weeks now, I should've heard something). During the initial call I had to query them on specifics such as what it takes to get her listed on their site. Their service is ridiculous! I'll write another review once I make a few more calls and maybe can get some positive results!
