Description

Ever wonder about Death and what happens when someone Dies?

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. Chris is not your stereotypical mortician. As a child, he actually grew up in a funeral home. As a matter of fact, his current office used to be his boyhood bedroom. So, he has a lifetime of experiences to share. 

In this Podcast, Chris offers his take on various topics including grief, hope, loss, legacy and the blessings that come through the process. 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. Feel free to reach out to us for any questions, support, or to discuss how we can assist you in commemorating the lives of your loved ones.
