History

Parklawn-Wood Funeral Home dates back to 1909, when Lawrence B. Wood and his wife, Margaret Patrick Wood, opened Lawrence B. Wood Funeral Home on Victoria Boulevard in the downtown area of Hampton. Over the years, the funeral home business grew to meet the needs and requests of the surrounding Tidewater communities.

In 2000, the funeral home relocated to the grounds of Parklawn Memorial Park on North Armistead Avenue and changed its name to Parklawn-Wood Funeral Home.
