My sincere condolences. I regret that I never got down to Vero Beach to visit you and Cletus. Had no idea he was so sick. I am so sorry. Enjoyed talking with Cletus. He was very nice and always a gentleman. If there is anything I can do for you, let me know.

Thinking of you and the family during this difficult time. During part of my summer job at REA, Cletus was my “ride” to the job in St. Louis. We had many opportunities to visit during those rides into and out of the city. My thanks to him for being there when I needed transportation to work. Our condolences and deepest sympathies. May he rest in peace.

Mona:
It was such a true pleasure to meet you both this past summer and enjoy the week of softball and stories with him! He was truly a delight to be around and brought some cheer to me and Mckenzie during our loss of my husband and I can only hope to send you back some of the love he gave to us in our time of need. You are special to us and I hope to finally get in that lunch date next time I’m in Vero. Until then know that you and the family are in our thoughts and prayers and sending you much love ❤️

  • 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.
