Our History

Our History

John and Leward have over 30 combined years of experience as funeral directors in Upshur County. McWhorter Funeral Home is the first funeral home built here in over 50 years. We are committed to excellence and service. John was the general manager in Gilmer for over 20 years and Leward managed the funeral home in Gladewater for about half that time. We are proud to be here to serve your family as if it was our own.
