About Lynch Conner Bowman

View Our Staff


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 at 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 seperate family room, a family lounge and 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 filing 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 we serve at no additional cost to our families. 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 the front of our funeral homes.

We strive to live and serve by the Golden Rule. We will serve each family with the dignity and respect in 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 there own. The smallest detail makes the biggest difference and we at Lynch Conner-Bowman and Conner-Bowman makes us the funeral home of choice.

Lynch Conner-Bowman Funeral Home and Conner-Bowman Funeral Home and Crematory is 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 facilty. Your Choice! There will not be any difference in cost to you. Should you have your pre-paid funeral arragements 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 where 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 at your time of need.

We are now proud members of 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.

We pride ourselves in taking care of family members.
