Tharp Funeral Home & Crematory, a family owned and operated funeral home, has proudly served Central Virginia for nearly a century. Our history began in 1933, when founder Glenn Tharp entered funeral service in Bedford, Virginia, serving families there until his retirement in the early 1990s. He passed his tradition of excellence on to his son, Willard D. "Skip" Tharp, and his grandson, Chris Tharp, who have furthered Glenn's vision of providing the highest level of care to families by expanding into the Lynchburg, Virginia, and Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia, locations. Our commitment to care for the families that choose us as we care for our own will be evident as we continue to grow into the areas of Madison Heights, Amherst, and Campbell County in the years to come. Tharp Funeral Home & Crematory is proud to provide the lowest cost complete funeral and cremation plans in Central Virginia. We offer a Veterans Discount to all honorably discharged veterans. Our crematory is on-site which ensures that your loved one never leaves the care and supervision of our experienced and professional staff and provides your family the peace of mind of knowing that your loved one.s identity has been verified and maintained throughout the entire cremation process. Tharp Funeral Home & Crematory was named the Family Friendly Business of the Year by the Alliance for Families & Children and was honored by the readers of the News & Advance by being named Lynchburg's Best Funeral Home. It is our honor and privilege to serve the families of Central Virginia. We want to offer a safe harbor for you and your family when a relative or friend has died.
