About Us

The Adkins Family Funeral Home of Portsmouth was established in 1912 by Al Windel and later called Windel-Howland Funeral Home after C.M. Howland purchased interest in the firm. On October 26, 1976 Jeffrey L. and Barbara Purdy Brant purchased the firm from James and Helen Purdy and operated it until January 1, 2013 when Terry Jason (T.J.) and Rebecca Michelle Adkins bought the funeral home.
