Welcome to E. Blake Collins Funeral Home

Welcome to the website for E. Blake Collins Funeral Home, Wilkes-Barre and Maher-Collins Funeral Home, Kingston.  We hope that this site will be of assistance in obtaining information about current funerals and the services that we offer.

The Collins Funeral Home began in 1913 when Joseph F. Collins opened the funeral home in the Borough of Parsons.  While a lot of things have changed in the last 100 plus years we remain committed to serving the families of the Wyoming Valley in their time of need. 

The current obituaries are listed on this page.  Past obituaries are listed on the Obituaries page.  We hope that you will also sign the guestbook and leave a message or story for the family. 

If you are looking for information we hope that you find what you need.  If you have questions please call, or you can email us by clicking here.  We are always willing to answer questions, give information, or help in any way we can.  If you are outside the area please call us at 888-822-3514

We are proud to be recipients of the National Funeral Directors Association Pursuit of Excellence award for the tenth consecutive year.  This honor represents our commitment to the profession and our community.
