COMMITMENT; EXCELLENCE In Service Since 1881 ! Efficiency; Attention to Details & ECONOMY best describe US !  The photo on the right depicts our livery of a few years ago....  

Commitment: Dave Taylor has been involved in 90+% of the funerals & embalmings since joining Millers in 1973. Dave is proud to be the ONLY Farmington mortuary owner who attended & graduated from Mortuary School, earning National Board distinction. Since Dave & Ann purchased the firm in 1977, there have been 2 other embalmers, in addition to Dave, who have meticulously cared for our families. This compares to a dozen-plus embalmers at other local funeral homes over the same time. This is unparallel dedication in Farmington ! 

Excellence In Service: Note our documented "Firsts"  under "About Us"  "History" & "Making History" via this website & it's obvious that other firms have taken note & followed our lead. We take that as a compliment !  We are the 3rd owners of this firm that started in 1881 !

Efficiency & Attention-to-Detail: We pride ourselves with a 30+ yr track record of accomplishing tasks with speed; efficiency & accuracy. i.e., approx. 90+% of our families receive their death certificates (local deaths) on or by funeral time. Many times on the day following death. This gives our families a great headstart to start legal matters. We give many other funeral tasks that same priority. Small things (to others) like starting services on time & timely playing of the right music in the right order are VERY IMPORTANT to us ! 

Have insurance that you want to use to pay funeral expenses ??   We were the 1st Farmington funeral home to become a licensed insurance agency & our licensed staff routinely processes insurance claims, GRATIS. A important difference: WE Assign & WAIT On Verified Insurance Proceeds & Do NOT Make You Pay In Advance of insurance receipts.  This is what Insurance is for !

Economy: WWelcome "true" Cost Comparisons. Several local firms years ago exceeded the $3K & $4K Std. Adult Svc. Fee plateau, ours is less than $3K ! It's a source of great pride to us that we can offer the same merchandise as our competitors - at hundreds less. Often, we're more than a thousand dollars less. We strive to provide the most-professional service at the fairest cost.  Not too long ago, a local couple compared prices; & brought in a competitor's General Price List (GPL), along with a prepared & signed estimate. For the exact same casket; vault & church services we were over $3,000.00 less -or- over $1500.00/each) !  We invite you to compare our GPL against local funeral homes. You'll find many of our charges less-expensive than most. Our small, intimate staff accounts for our being able to offer the same merchandise & superior service at far better prices. We ask you to compare bottom line & don't be confused by so-called "reduction packages" -or- "special discounts" that may look good, but in total, can cost you more.  We invite you to compare our GPL against others & final FTC itemizations. This may be a good reason our Funeral PreArrangement sales have increased, as more & more families compare prices. Our low overhead & your good credit combine for lower prices.
