About
Lunn Funeral Home, Inc., located at 300 South Avenue M in Olney, Texas, is a trusted, family-owned funeral home that has been serving the community with dignity, honor, and respect since 1913. Founded by W.N. Lunn as Lunn Furniture and Undertaking Company, the business originally operated on Main Street, with the undertaking component situated in the back of the furniture store. In 1927, the funeral home moved to Grand Street, and it now proudly stands as a fifth-generation family enterprise, reflecting over a century of compassionate care and community dedication.
Throughout its rich history, Lunn Funeral Home has continuously evolved to meet the needs of grieving families. In 1923, it pioneered the first motorized ambulance service in Olney, a vital community resource that operated until 1976 when state regulations changed. The legacy of service was carried forward by W.N.'s son, Raymond Lunn, who worked alongside his father until 1959. Raymond later welcomed his own son, Don, into the business in 1959, and they worked together for over 27 years until Raymond's retirement in 1986. A notable figure in the home's history is Miss Virginia Moore, who was hired as a secretary and bookkeeper in 1945 and faithfully served all five generations of the Lunn family for more than 50 years, embodying the loyalty and dedication that define this institution.
Today, Lunn Funeral Home provides individualized funeral and cremation services designed to meet the unique needs of each family. The staff is available 24/7 to guide families through all aspects of funeral or memorial services, including pre-planning and immediate need arrangements. The facility is wheelchair-accessible with on-site parking, ensuring that all visitors feel welcome and accommodated. The business has earned a 4.7-star rating on Google Maps from community members who have appreciated its compassionate support.
With over 85 years of dedicated service and more than 16,000 families served, Lunn Funeral Home is an award-winning establishment that remains deeply rooted in the Olney community. The website offers current obituaries, grief support resources, including a year-long grief message program, and the ability to send flowers or sign guestbooks. For those interested in pre-need funeral contracts, the home provides information as required by Texas state law through the Texas Prepaid Funeral Commission website.
