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.

Thank you for doing such a great job with our service! I was so upset and tired, I kept making mistakes (obituary, etc)--but they checked and corrected it just in time. I probably asked the same questions over and over. They were so patient and kind about it. ❤️ There were sooo many other awesome things they did for us...and without even being asked.! They were genuinely watching our backs, thank goodness! I really needed that. During our very first meeting with Joseph, I couldn't even really talk, at all. I think I was in shock or something. ? I was in bad shape. We wouldn't have been able to get all of this done without Hankins and Whittington. Everything went beautifully. I knew they would since they took care of my Daddy, too--years ago. So I knew who to call for help! Highly recommend!--Neel family.
