About Us

Welcome to Lynch Conner-Bowman Funeral Home.  We are pleased to announce that we are now 100 percent locally owned and operated.  The citizens of Franklin County now have another option for a locally owned funeral home.

We have completed renovations to our funeral home and now offer everything on one level. We have moved our arrangement room and selection room to the first floor of the building making it more accessible to the families we serve. We have also installed the Family Advisor system from Aurora Casket Company. This will give our families the opportunity to see caskets and vaults without going into the selection room if they are uncomfortable. We still offer our full selection room if a family would prefer seeing the caskets in full view.

We have replaced all of the furniture and painted the interior and some exterior of the funeral home and upgraded our chapel. We now offer video recordings of each service and offer video memorials to each family.

Conner-Bowman Funeral Home and Crematory is now open for business on Route 220 at the intersection of Wirtz Road. This is a state of the art facility offering 11,000 square feet of space to assist our families in their time of need. Having the largest and most modern facilities in the county will allow us the flexibility to serve each family as if they were the only family we were serving at any time. We offer the County's first on-site crematory which is located in the main funeral home, large spacious viewing rooms, the county's largest chapel (with seating up to 200) a separate family room, a family lounge and a children's room. We also provide state of the art audio and video and our instrumentation of the Allen Organ and Roland Digital Piano.

We offer a variety of services including traditional, cremation (full service, direct or memorial services that we will gladly arrange for you at our chapels or at a location that the family selects...this could be a church, community center or even the family home) and veteran services. We handle all of the filings of veteran forms, offer the availability of Military Honors at the graveside and provide a flag for all honorable discharged veterans. 

As an added service to the families we serve, we provide a dove at the graveside for each family at no additional cost. This is our way of giving back to each family. For those families electing cremation with a memorial service, we offer the dove release at the conclusion of the service in front of our funeral homes. We also offer a video tribute without a limit to the number of photos as long as they will fit on a disk. This service is also offered at no charge.

It is the little things that makes the difference in funeral services, such as water at the graveside that our staff hands out, or the warmth of the lap robes that we place on the family during the winter months, the hand fans on those hot days or even opening a door. We strive to give the best service possible, but listening and paying attention to the family is our goal...we welcome any and all requests from the families we serve.

We strive to live and serve by the Golden Rule. We will serve each family with the dignity and respect which they deserve.

We have made sure that whatever the need is of the family, we have all of the tools in place to meet that need.

We have 25 dedicated staff members ready to serve at any hour of the day and the determination to treat every family as if it were their own. The smallest detail makes the biggest difference and we at Lynch Conner-Bowman and Conner-Bowman make us the funeral home of choice.

Lynch Conner-Bowman Funeral Home and Conner-Bowman Funeral Home and Crematory are operated as one funeral home offering the same professional service at both locations. Our prices will be the same for both facilities and for those families that have already pre-paid their services at Lynch or Arrington Bussey Funeral Home, you will have the option of using either facility. Your Choice! There will not be any difference in cost to you. Should you have your pre-paid funeral arrangements at another funeral home in Franklin County or another location, Virginia Law allows you to transfer these arrangements from one funeral home to another. We can take care of the transfer and you will never have to contact the original firm.

We invite you in to see our changes and always know that we are here to serve in your time of need.

We are now proud members of the National Funeral Directors Association, Virginia Funeral Directors Association and the Independent Funeral Homes of Virginia. Locally we are proud members of the Franklin County Retail Merchants Association.
