Diuguid Funeral Services & Crematory - Timberlake
Proudly Serving Lynchburg for Over 200 Years
For over two centuries, Diuguid Funeral Services & Crematory has been a steadfast provider of comfort and care to the Lynchburg community. Our tenure as the oldest funeral home in Virginia and the second oldest in the United States is a testament to our enduring commitment. Originating from humble beginnings, our founder Sampson Diuguid, a skilled furniture maker from Appomattox, transformed his craft into a mission of service that has stood the test of time.
Embracing both our rich heritage and the evolving needs of our community, we have recently undergone a full renovation. Our facilities have been meticulously updated to better serve families with modern amenities and comforts. The funeral home, easily accessible and a recognizable fixture in the area, now includes an on-property cafe for the convenience of the families we serve and ample parking to accommodate guests during services and visitations.
While we hold a special place in our hearts for veterans and the unique tributes they deserve, our services encompass a broad spectrum of options for burial and cremation, each tailored to honor the individuality of the lives we celebrate. Today, Diuguid Funeral Services & Crematory continues the legacy of Sampson Diuguid, ensuring that every family receives compassionate care in a setting that reflects our dedication to excellence.
