Hillsman-Hix Funeral Home Rebuilds | Richmond News

After a devastating fire nearly destroyed it, the Hillsman-Hix Funeral Home in Amelia Courthouse is rising from the ashes—with a $1 million rebuild set to reopen by year’s end. The new facility will expand the chapel to hold 200 guests, restore the flower shop and aquarium, and add a multimedia center, all while honoring the community’s outpouring of support. Local churches stepped in to host services, and a touching “Circle of Life” sculpture, crafted from a fire-ravaged tree, will symbolize hope and transition. With the next generation ready to lead, this is more than a comeback—it’s a legacy reborn. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
