History

Whitten Funeral Home was established in 1937 by W.C. “Red” Whitten at the original location on Park Avenue in Lynchburg. In 1960, we opened a second funeral home on Timberlake Road to serve the needs of a growing city. Later in 1982, we opened our third funeral home, located in Madison Heights, to serve families in Amherst County.

Over 80 years of service

For over 80 years, three generations of the Whitten family have led the way in funeral services for the greater Lynchburg area, serving the funeral needs of Lynchburg area families. Today, we are a member of the Dignity Memorial® network of funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers.
