Meet Marv

Our In-House Therapy & Bereavement Dog

At Whitting Funeral Home, we understand that losing a loved one is an incredibly difficult experience. That’s why we’re proud to introduce Marv, our loving therapy dog, who is here to offer comfort and support during your time of grief.

Marv is available during funeral services to provide a calming presence and a soft, reassuring paw to lean on. His gentle nature and warm personality have a special way of brightening even the toughest of days.

Marv loves volunteering and is dedicated to cheering up guests, offering a unique form of solace that only a therapy dog can. His presence helps bring comfort, support, and a sense of peace, reminding us all that even in the hardest times, there’s always a little light—and sometimes, that light is in the form of a wagging tail.

If you’d like to spend some time with Marv during your visit, just let us know! He’s here to help in any way he can.
