Hankins & Whittington Funeral Home

Celebrating Charlotte Memories Since 1946

At Hankins & Whittington Funeral Service, nestled in the historic heart of Dilworth, we have provided families in the Charlotte area with customizable memorial services for many years. Our services are crafted to honor your loved ones in ways that are both deeply meaningful and healing.


Our rich history began in 1946 when Irvin W. Hankins and James B. Whittington took the reins of the Crouch Funeral Home. The growth of our service and the community's support led to our move in March 1963 to the current location—once St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, built in 1930. Our chapel, a cherished historic landmark within the storied Dilworth neighborhood, is renowned for being the only funeral home in Charlotte graced with its own chapel, echoing with decades of history and serenity.


More than the beauty of our historic location, we are known for the compassion and dedication our staff extends to every family we meet. The creativity and personal touch we bring to our services have become a hallmark of Hankins & Whittington. Celebrating memories since 1946, we are honored by the reputation we've established and by the trust the people of Charlotte place in us, decade after decade.

I had the pleasure of working with Kristina and Joe on a recent service at our cemetery in Gaston County. I found them both to be extremely professional, kind, and have a love for what they do in serving families. Anyone needing a funeral service would make a good choice by selecting Hankins-Whittington.

From the moment I contacted Hankins & Whittington, I felt an overwhelming sense of care, professionalism, and genuine compassion. During one of the most difficult times in our lives, Kristina and Joe showed us such grace and empathy. They took the time to truly listen to our wishes and helped us create a tribute that honored my father‘s memory in a meaningful way. Every detail was handled with thoughtfulness and care. The service itself was beautifully arranged, and what could have been a burden some process, especially the paperwork, was made simple and stress-free. Their guidance gave us peace of mind when we needed it most. We are incredibly grateful for their support and would wholeheartedly recommend Hankins & Whittington to anyone seeking compassionate and professional care during a time of loss

My parents made prearrangement plans with H&W which made us kids life much easier so that we could celebrate their wonderful lives versus being overwhelmed with funeral details and decisions at such a stressful time. We have now done the same.
