Services
Altmeyer Funeral Homes & Crematory traces its origins to 1917, making it one of the region's longest-operating family-owned funeral providers. The business has expanded to six chapels spanning Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Newport News, and Williamsburg, including the Maestas Chapel at 1801 Baltic Avenue in Virginia Beach. The company serves thousands of families annually while maintaining what it describes as the founder's original values: quality service, honesty, and strong work ethic.
The funeral home distinguishes itself through an unusually flexible approach to personalization. Staff actively encourage families to incorporate personal effects—motorcycles, gardening tools, hunting gear, surfboards—into services. One documented example involved displaying a young surfer's board for guests to sign. This practice reflects a broader philosophy of designing arrangements around specific family wishes rather than standardized packages.
Altmeyer positions itself as a neighborhood funeral home emphasizing affordability alongside personalization. The operation remains family-owned and operated, with staff presenting themselves as neighbors and friends of the communities they serve.
