Our History
Our History
Miller Funeral Chapel's Caledonia location was founded by H.A. Miller in "1937" and has remained a family owned and operated establishment for three generations. In January of 2024, upon the retirement of Mark Miller, the Miller Funeral Chapel was purchased by another long-time Haldimand family. Ian Cooper, a second generation funeral director, along with his wife Lisa are committed to carrying on the long-standing tradition of quality, compassionate care to Caledonia and the surrounding area.
