I hope you won't need this service. But if you do, it helps to have a compassionate team to assist during grief. My loved one was taken care of. We chose cremation. I was able to say goodbye before that process happened. The owners (Betsy & Christopher Burch) were kind and explained how things would unfold. They took care of the death certificate and helped guide us while we were obviously not at our best. I didn't use funeral services or purchase an urn. I bought an urn somewhere else. There was a variety of urns. There were small urns that you could purchase if other family members wanted some of the ashes. I appreciated the compassion and warmth that was shown to us. My loved one was treated with dignity and respect. read more

They knew my husband personally since he was a child and his parents chose them when he died at 36. He was a veteran and the Amelia Veterans Cemetery gave him the send off he deserved. BM funeral home however was a disgrace. They 'forgot' to send the flowers to his service in Amelia and tried to argue about taking them to the grave and whines about travel time and gas. Most abhorrent, the sheet holding my husbands remains peeked out of his casket. Absolutely disgusting and incompetent people running this place. GO ANYWHERE ELSE IF YOU WANT TO ENSURE YOUR LOVED ONES HAVE A PROPER AND DIGNIFIED BURIAL. My husband Joshua was a 100% disabled vet and we had a 5k burial allowance and his headstone was paid for. Yet they hounded me and his parents for the 3500 balance under the veil of condolence cards. It was quickly paid but WOW...you knew him and his family. What goes around comes around and I will tell anyone who listens how you mistreated him and our family and advise they go to Updike, like my side of the family always has. Shame on you read more

I haven't compared rates, but I believe they are comparable or better than we paid the other company. They have done all possible to give us the best rates and excellent service. Love these people!

The Gilded Thimble is the place to have your wedding dress altered. I purchased my dress at Church…read moreStreet Bridal thinking it was pretty close to size. I learned, through my experience with the Gilded Thimble, that it most certainly was not. Carissa walked me through the whole process of her vision to properly size my dress. She was so incredibly thorough and patient throughout a longer than anticipated process. I could not be more thankful for The Gilded Thimble team for fitting my dress TO me. It was so perfect day of that people asked if it was custom. It basically was because of Carissa's perfect touch. Thank you to the Gilded Thimble! Definitely move forward with your wedding dress alterations here!

Carissa is truly, truly incredible - if you need any convincing, look at her website and the proof…read moreis all there. Her photos clearly show how talented she is, and she's a perfectionist who will ensure you look your best for your big day. Better yet, her hourly rates are really affordable for wedding dress alterations, and she works lightning quick! I had a "sew while wait" appointment with her (alterations done in a single appointment) and she was so comfortable to spend the day with, really clear with what she wanted to do, and super helpful with all of my questions and concerns. We actually finished hours before our estimated time (and under her estimated total!) Carissa is really so friendly and talented, and tries her best to make sure you're comfortable. She has snacks and drinks set up, as well as a really comfortable couch for taking naps on :) She'll do anything she can to help - during our initial consultation meeting, she altered my engagement dress on the fly (and only for $15!!) I really can't stress enough how highly I recommend working with The Gilded Thimble. She's more than worth the drive (we drove from Northern Virginia for our appointment) and you won't be disappointed. Just as a reminder, she takes checks only if she holds onto your dress and takes cash if you're taking your dress with you.
