“Family owned, old world service. Makes you feel like you are in control of your needs and lets you choose what is right for you. Building is old, but has been updated with new technology”
“Gene has kept the tradition of the professionality and extreme care of the Miller name. The very first experience of me being involved with having to use a mortuary was in 1997 with the passing of my father. We so pleased and blessed by how we were treated we used Miller's again in 2004 with the passing of my grandmother. In January 2024 we lost my precious mother. Gene and his staff was beyond helpful and so very caring. Thank you doesn't even come close to the heart felt gratitude I have for Gene and all of his staff.”
“Gene and his staff go way above and beyond to help make the memorial planning as easy as possible and help reduce the stress during a difficult time for the family.”

How to request military funeral honors
By law (10 U.S.C. § 1491), an eligible veteran's funeral can include, on request, an honors detail of at least two service members who fold and present the U.S. flag to the family and play Taps. The funeral director usually makes the request and will need the veteran's DD214 or other discharge papers.
VA suggests asking at least 48 to 72 hours before the service. More on what honors include and how to request them.
