History

The Whitten family of funeral homes has served the greater Lynchburg area for more than 80 years. Whitten Funeral Home was established in 1937 by W.C. “Red” Whitten at the original location on Park Avenue in Lynchburg. In 1960, we added a 2nd location on Timberlake Road to meet the needs of a growing city. Eventually in 1982, Whitten opened our 3rd location in Madison Heights to serve residents in Amherst County. Today, we are a member of the Dignity Memorial® network of funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers.

"Cost = just wanted to note that we didn't expect to pay anything since all was pre-planned, but we are OK with that. Contact after service = I cannot remember if anyone from Whitten contacted us after the service; I really didn't expect to be contacted, but I have texted with Gina to take care of some things, and she responded quickly. Learning how to make advance funeral/cemetery arrangements - at this time the answer is no. This is something that we will discuss as a family sometime in the future and will be in contact at some point."
