Memories of working at the plant, boating and trying to ski at Lake Roy, nights working on Doug’s car and going to the races are times I fondly remember. So happy to have been able to share them with him and now have those memories. He was more than an Uncle, he was a good friend. With love and prayers to all, David and Andrea.

Walt was my supervisor at the City of Vero Beach Power Plant. He was great to learn from and work with. Outside of work Walt was my friend. He was instrumental in the construction of my drag car along with his nephew David. He will be missed.

Rest in peace “Tin Man”.

  • The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

  • Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
