About us

Family- and veteran-owned.
Not a corporation.

Minor Funeral and Cremation Center is locally owned and operated in Milton, Vermont — proud to serve our neighbors, not shareholders.

Our commitment

A local family,
serving local families.

We are not part of a national chain. The decisions made here are made by people who live in this community and will continue to serve it long after your family's hardest day is behind you.

That independence shapes everything — the way we answer the phone at midnight, the way we walk a family through options without pressure, the way we take the time to get every detail right. Because for us, this is not a volume business. It is a calling.

We are proud to be veteran-owned and operated, and we honor that heritage in the way we serve every family — including those who have lost a veteran.
