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.

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

As a lifetime resident, I've visited more times than I could recall, ending a bike ride, practicing amateur photography, or more recently, enjoying the precious moments of watching my young son embrace the magical qualities of nature. I rang the bell three times last week, to celebrate a friend who just ended her cancer treatment. The love and courage represented in the bricks solicit feelings of peace and thankfulness. It's a privilege to spend time reflecting.

I cannot believe Stihl authorizes these people to service their equipment. Maybe Stihl does not…read moreknow how they treat people and their equipment. Well, they will very soon. My mother-in-law took her Stihl blower in to have the primer bulb replaced. That was all it needed. That was all she wanted done. What they did to her blower was criminal. Not only did they not replace the primer bulb as she had ask, they broke the throttle lever off the carburetor when they dis-assembled it. Why they dis-assembled her blower to replace an easily accessible primer bulb is beyond any conceivable explanation or understanding. When she went in to pick up her blower after being told it was ready, she was handed a bag of parts, and a bill for fifty some dollars. They had the nerve to tell her (after they broke the carburetor) it needed a new carburetor, and it was going to cost as much to repair the blower as it would be to purchase a new one. Then they charged her fifty some dollars for their "fine" service. All it needed was a primer bulb! You can see in the attached photo the condition in which they returned her blower. If legible, the broken throttle lever pieces are circled in the photo. Unbelievable!!! Had this happened to me, these people would be in court making reparations for the damage they caused. This is truly criminal taking advantage of a person in this manner. If I heard one day someone burned them out, I just might have to smile.
