Services
The Chesapeake Chapel occupies a 2.5-acre property at 929 South Battlefield Boulevard, constructed in 1968 as the Twiford Funeral Home and renovated by Altmeyer in 2011. The facility serves as the primary location for families in Chesapeake, southern Virginia Beach, Moyock, and northern Currituck County.
Altmeyer structures services around family budgets and specific wishes rather than predetermined packages. Staff present all available options and allow families to determine appropriate arrangements.
Altmeyer Funeral Homes & Crematory traces its origins to 1917 when James P. Altmeyer founded the first location in Wheeling, West Virginia. The Chesapeake Chapel at 929 South Battlefield Boulevard represents one of six Hampton Roads facilities, acquired in 2010 and renovated in 2011. The 2.5-acre property serves families throughout Chesapeake, southern Virginia Beach (formerly Princess Anne County), Moyock, and northern Currituck County, North Carolina.
The Chesapeake facility occupies the former Twiford Funeral Home site, originally constructed in 1968. Altmeyer's expansion into Virginia began in 1995 with the Southside location, followed by Denbigh (2000), Virginia Beach (1998), and Maestas (2007). The organization now operates 12 facilities across three states while maintaining its original founder's principles: quality service, honesty, and strong work ethic.
Unlike corporate funeral chains, Altmeyer emphasizes personalization and neighborhood accessibility. Their staff encourages families to incorporate meaningful objectsâmotorcycles, gardening tools, military uniforms, even surfboardsâinto services to reflect individual lives lived.

In our search to find a partner funeral home that could help us in transferring a family's loved one from Chesapeake, VA to Oklahoma City, OK, Anna Williams far exceeded our expectations. Knowing that we didn't have a home location in the area that could assist, we began our sea...
Altmeyer Chesapeake Chapel was wonderful during a time that was not. Anna Williams was a true and caring professional that help guided the way towards my mother's final resting spot. Thank you Anna.
