Thacker Brothers Funeral Homes

Thacker Brothers Funeral Homes has been a pillar of compassionate service in central Virginia since 1922, blending the time-honored traditions of funeral care with the evolving needs of modern families. The funeral home originally served the Scottsville area before moving to its present location at 650 Valley Street in the mid-1960s. In September 2010, the family expanded to a second location at 138 Heritage Drive in Palmyra (Lake Monticello) to better serve the growing community. Both facilities offer a warm, comfortable atmosphere where families can gather to honor and remember their loved ones.

The funeral home’s range of services extends beyond the immediate needs of a funeral. They offer comprehensive pre-planning resources, allowing individuals to make arrangements in advance and relieve their families of difficult decisions. Grief support is available through daily email messages for a year after services, providing ongoing comfort during the grieving process. For veterans, Thacker Brothers provides specialized assistance including information on burial benefits, headstones, and burial flags. They also maintain an obituary notification email list so community members can stay informed.
