History

Whitten Funeral Home was established in 1937 by W.C. “Red” Whitten at the original location on Park Avenue in Lynchburg. In 1960, the 2nd location opened on Timberlake Road to serve the needs of a growing city. In 1982, Whitten opened its 3rd location, just north of Lynchburg in Madison Heights, Virginia, to serve the residents of Amherst County.

For more than 80 years, 3 generations of the Whitten family have hosted funeral services for the greater Lynchburg area, and we are proud to uphold a legacy of fine funeral care.
