Woody Funeral Home

Woody Funeral Home - Parham, located at 1771 North Parham Road in Richmond, Virginia, has been a cornerstone of compassionate end-of-life care in the metropolitan Richmond area since 1905. Founded by Henry W. Woody shortly after the Civil War, the funeral home began near historic St. John's Church. Mr. Woody's reputation for professionalism and integrity allowed the business to grow, necessitating a move to a larger facility at 25th Street and Jefferson Avenue in 1916, which doubled in size by 1926 with the addition of a church-like sanctuary. Henry Woody served families until his death in 1958. In 1966, the funeral home relocated to Laburnum Avenue as Richmond's first garden-type funeral home, and since then, three additional locations have opened, including the Parham location. Woody Funeral Home - Parham features an onsite crematory, the first in Richmond to be associated with a funeral home, serving all of its locations.

This affiliation allows the funeral home to offer a 100% service guarantee, lifetime flexibility on prepaid plans, and relocation protection across qualifying Dignity Memorial providers. The funeral home provides a comprehensive range of services, including burial and cremation services, an onsite chapel, and a wheelchair accessible entrance and parking lot for ease of access. It also offers prepayment plans to help families plan ahead and save, with up to 10% off prepaid funeral plans. The facility is available 24/7, with free on-site parking.
