Rip to the Queen of Dlive. Maria and I had ups and downs but ended on a positive note. I hope she is at peace knowing that she made a difference in some people’s lives. She entertained, trolled, laughed, and was very quick witted when it came replies. The one thing I will say about Maria is that she is not a quitter and that is a trait that should be carried on. She is proof that one person can make a difference and matter to others. My only regret was not messaging you in September. Thanks for the memories from the past 4 years Maria. It really was a wild ride and you were right. MAGA 2024 we will try to win it for you Maria.

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.
