I live in Texas and received news from my fathers companion that he was ill. I made it to Detroit by the end of the day and my father passed away two days later. My world had been turned upside down within a matter of just a few days and I had not the slightest clue how to plan a funeral. My dad told me some months before his transition that if anything ever should happen to him, he would want the Hutchison Funeral to handle his burial services. Now, I fully understand my dads wishes. I worked mostly with Joseph Hutchison Jr. and he was a joy to work with. Considering how distraught I was over my dads death, I never thought planning his funeral would be such a positive experience. Mr. Hutchison took out the time to learn some things about my dad and incorporated my dads personality and hobbies into the visitation and funeral service. For example: Mr. Hutchison made sure that my dads favorite music was playing during the visitation. He also put on display at the visitation items that reflected my dads interest in playing pool, riding motorcycles, and playing horseshoes. My dad was also a member of a motorcycle club. Mr. Hutchison arranged it such that my dads biker friends rode in the processional to the cemetery through downtown Detroit. Taking that route was really heartwarming because my father worked for a company based in downtown Detroit for well over ten years. My father also loved Detroit and it was nice to see him ride through the heart of it. The services were planned so perfectly that there is nothing that I can think of that I would have changed about the visitation nor burial service. Mr. Hutchison also did an excellent job with preparing my fathers body. It meant so much to me to see that my dad looked like himself. If you are looking for a funeral home to help you plan your loved ones services, I strongly recommend that you work with the Hutchison Funeral Home. You will be glad that you did.

The worst experience with a Funeral Home in the Detroit area. We were confident that our mothers arrangements were in good hands due to a personal relationship with one of the staff at the funeral home. My family and I are originally from Jamaica so our mothers wish was to be laid to rest in our homeland. We had a service here which went well so we were even more assured that her journey back home would be smooth traveling. When our mothers remains arrived Jamaica the funeral home there did not know she was arriving due to lack of communication with Hutchison Funeral Home. We found this out because we just happen to call the funeral home in Jamaica to see if she was picked up. The funeral home in Jamaica stated that they didnt get notification or the proper documents for our mother to be picked up so until they received the documents they cannot pick her remains up; whenever our mom visited Jamaica family would come and meet her and for the first time she arrived and no one to pick her up so her remains had to sit at customs. We were all so heart broken and in shock of the lack of communication that cause this to happen. When we had our mothers final service with burial we had another major problem; her remains had started decomposing which forced us to make one of the hardest decision on having a closed casket service. Our entire family was so heart broken about not being able to see her one last time. A few days after her burial we did some research to see what happen and found out due to her remains not being embalmed properly caused the early decomposition. My family and I are very displeased with Hutchison Funeral Home. I personally would not do business with them next time around.

When you lose a loved one it can be one of the hardest times in your lifetime. The details of planning a funeral service can be overwhelming and difficult. Just recently I lost my brother. As soon as my family and I entered the Hutchinson Funeral Home we knew we had come to the right place. The Hutchinson family felt like an extension of our family. They assisted us with all the details and contacted us daily just to check in on us. Their facility only accommodates one funeral service at a time which gave my family and I an opportunity to grieve in privacy during the viewing. The funeral home is impeccably clean and well maintained. Also, any last minute request we had they went out of their way to accommodate. They were well organized but most of all they were empathetic and sincere. I would recommend that anyone who is going through a passing of a loved one highly consider the Hutchinson Funeral Home as their first option. I know their services will be used by my family from here on out. Thank you Joseph and the entire Hutchinson family for your assistance.

As the saying goes, we are never ready when a love one passes away. In December, I lost my uncle and in February, I lost my grandfather. Our family was truly impacted! However, Hutchinson’s Funeral Home truly made the process bearable and honestly relieved a big load of the stress. They treated our family with pure kindness, answering all our questions and providing resources for every detail for both services. In my opinion they went above and beyond to show compassion for our family and show true honor for our deceased family members. They took care of all the “ins” and “outs” and even reached out to the family after the service to make sure we were doing well. I would highly recommend this company for anyone looking for caring professionals to aid in creating a honorable home going service. While I hope to not need their services any time soon, if we do have another person in our family that makes the transition, we would be honored for the final arrangements to be made through Hutchinson’s Funeral Services.

Hutchinson Funeral Home is a family owned business that will treat you and your departed loved one like family. Along with being reasonable and sincerely sympathetic to the loss of our Mom, the Hutchinsons took the time to explain the final arrangement process. They provided options to satisfy our Mom’s final wishes and kept us updated each step of the way. In fact, whenever Joe, Jr. communicated with me he always said “Mom is…” not “your Mom” or “Mrs. so & so.” In grief, it was very comforting to know that our Mom wasn’t just a customer to the Hutchinsons -- she was being treated with the upmost respect and care. Moreover, the building is immaculate. You can tell the Hutchinsons take great effort to ensure that every inch of the place is clean and freshly scented (no medical smells here). I highly recommend Hutchinson Funeral Home to anyone looking for a professional, yet thoughtful place to handle your loved one’s final arrangements.

When my mom died, there was never a question about which funeral home I would trust with her arrangements. I chose the Hutchinson Funeral Home because I have known the family and its business for decades. Hutchinsons has a long-established reputation for the highest quality of service so I knew everything would be handled with care, compassion and professionalism. The level of personal service, however, far exceeded my expectations. Hutchinson’s anticipated my needs, asked the right questions, listened to my concerns with grace and understanding, answered my endless questions, and quickly followed up on everything in person, by phone, email or text message based on my needs and preferences. No detail was too small for Hutchinson’s to handle. The Hutchinsons made me feel as though I was their only customer. They were truly there for me and I recommend their services without hesitation.
