Corporate vs Family-Owned

What's The Difference?

Is there any difference between a family-owned funeral home, and a funeral home that is part of a corporate-owned chain?

Over the past several years, large multinational organizations have been purchasing funeral homes at an alarming rate. The early nineties saw hundreds of family-operated funeral homes across North America brought into the fold of large multinational firms. The funeral profession has a long, proud history of personal service from generations of local families with deep roots in their community. Today there are many funeral service providers to choose from. You may not know that not all funeral homes are owned by local families. While they may have been operating in your community for years, and their names have not changed, some funeral homes have sold out to national and international conglomerates. These funeral service conglomerates keep the original family name on their businesses because they know that at our greatest time of need, you are more likely to turn to a local family you feel you can trust than to a national chain you know nothing about.

Miller Funeral Home is locally owned by the Miller Family and independently operated. We are not operated by a large public corporation.
