Updike Funeral Home & Cremation Service is pleased to offer the services of an Aftercare Consultant – one who can be of assistance to you and your family in this time of bereavement.
Our Aftercare Consultant is Patsy Wheat. If you desire her services before she is in contact with you, Mrs. Wheat can be reached at her home at 540-586-9705, or you may contact the funeral home and leave a message and she will return your call. 
Our Aftercare Consultant stays in contact with family to discuss the services available to you.
A sample of the services available to you include:
• Informational pamphlets
• Face to face meetings
• Telephone consultation.
We hope that you will use this service when it is needed.
Patsy is available to assist you in your time of need.
Aftercare can be very helpful in weeks or even months after a loved one has passed away – someone other than family members who will listen and answer questions and even offer written material .
Aftercare services are available to you at no cost to you as our way of assisting grieving families in coping with their loss.
