The history of Riggle-Waltermann Mortuary traces back to 1910, when it was originally founded as Jordan, McManus, Hunt & Waltermann on Main Street in downtown Richmond. In 1918, the business moved to its current location at 32 S 11th Street. Over the decades, the funeral home underwent several name changes reflecting its evolving partnership. In the 1930s, it became Unser & Waltermann. George Riggle joined in 1946 and became a partner in 1952, leading to the name Waltermann-Riggle. After Joseph Waltermann’s passing in 1960, his son Frank took ownership. In 1966, George Riggle became principal partner, and the funeral home was officially renamed Riggle-Waltermann Mortuary. In 1968, a new, expanded chapel and other renovations were added. The family legacy continued when George’s son Gary joined in 1972. In 2005, Eric Davis began his career as a high school intern and became a full-time licensed mortician in 2008, further strengthening the team’s commitment to excellence.
