We were honored to be able to participate in this unveiling with our sister funeral home. You can visit this remarkable exhibit at Woody Funeral Home-Parham during their normal business hours.

A retired Virginia state trooper whose son died in Iraq helped create a Wall of Honor exhibit at Woody Funeral Home, memorializing 301 Virginians killed in the War on Terror.

Today, our funeral directors were able to ditch their suits and ties for hammers and saws. We had the privilege of partnering with project:HOMES and many other local volunteers for the City of Richmond's Mayor's Day of Service to help make homes more accessible by building a handicap ramp for a local family.
