Being Union City's oldest and 'only locally owned' funeral home, we make a special effort to see that the people we serve are provided with the very best service we can offer. It is our privilege to be the fourth generation of our family serving the people of this area for more than 100 years with their funeral service needs. It is our pledge to you that we will continue to provide you family with the same 'Sincere and Capable Service' that has been provided by our family since 1906.
When a loved one dies, grieving family members and friends often are confronted with dozens of decisions about the funeral all of which must be made quickly and often under great emotional duress. At Whitehurst Funeral Chapels, we are here to assist you in your time of need. We have 3 locations to serve you. We are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Come on by or give us a call and let one of our licensed, caring and professional Funeral Directors answer any questions you may have. Thank You…
The Whiter Funeral Company was started in 1893 by H.A. Whiter and was originally located in Forestport, NY. Following a fire in Forestport our family relocated in Ilion, and reopened the funeral home, in the early 1900's. We have been in our current location since 1935. The name of the funeral home was changed to the Whiter-Hendrix Funeral Home in 1957, and was owned and operated by Howard and Erminia (Whiter) Hendrix. Erminia and Howard were both licensed funeral directors, and the parents and grandparents to the current owners, Len and Scott.
