Welcome to the "Dialogues About Death" Show, hosted by Chris Miller, the Funeral Home Owner and Director of Thomas Miller Mortuary & Crematory in Corona California.

Each episode provides clear, compassionate insights and ideas on honoring your loved ones memories. He also delves into practical topics, all while cutting through industry jargon.
Whether you're navigating personal grief or seeking professional guidance, these conversations are designed to help you understand and cope with life's most challenging transitions.
