This is my grandpa, every year *around* my birthday haha he would text me a gif and wish me a happy one, it was always funny how he never got the day exactly right, but always caught himself after the fact and would send another gif to apologize.
It’s not like we talked often or like I ever really knew him well, but my heart is certainly heavier without him

I met Bill in the early 80’s. The one thing that always stands out for me through all the softball, bowling, parties at the beach house and of course Singing Hills was his love of life and the constant laughter that was Bill. Everyone around him always had a smile on their face.
Miss you Brother Bill

  • 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.
