It’s with a heavy heart that I share with you that Heaven welcomed its newest Angel this morning. My Dad was the strongest, sweetest, kindest man who had a heart of gold and loved his country deeply. The love he shared with those that crossed his path will be forever remembered & forever missed. He wanted to celebrate his 92nd birthday and we did that in style . We love you and will forever hold our fun, wonderful memories close to our hearts. .

Dad,
You were always one to lead us by your example and you did so here by leaving us on your own terms. I miss you so much but will remember all the good times.

Love Ed

  • 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.
