Why Choose Milam?


Before choosing a funeral home, ask “Is the funeral home independent, and locally owned and operated?” We are proud to be a family owned and operated funeral home. Established in 1926, we are third generation in the Family funeral service. It is very important to choose a funeral home and a funeral director you have faith in. The time surrounding the death of a loved one is difficult, and the most important responsibility of any funeral director should be to have empathy, and make this difficult time a little easier and less stressful.

Choosing a professional funeral director who handles every family and every request with compassion and understanding may be the most important decision a family has to make.

If you are in immediate need or have a question please call us any time, any day and one of our representatives will be able to assist you.
