About
Miles Funeral Home, located at 1158 Main Street in Holden, Massachusetts, has been a cornerstone of compassionate funeral care since its founding in 1896. Established by Edwin Miles in his family home on Main Street in the Jefferson section of Holden, the business was driven by a vision to provide essential funeral services to the local community. In the 1940s, the funeral home moved to its current location, a facility that has since doubled in size to better serve the families who place their trust in it. In 1997, a second location, Miles-Sterling Funeral & Tribute Center, was opened at 100 Worcester Road (Route 12) in Sterling, Massachusetts, allowing the firm to extend its reach and uphold its reputation for excellence.
Today, the funeral home is owned and operated by Richard S. Mansfield, a lifelong Holden resident who began working with Miles at the age of 17. For 25 years, he worked closely with Dorothy I. Miles, a pioneer in funeral service, before taking over the business. Under his leadership, the tradition of a family-owned, community-focused operation continues. The team is nationally recognized as a Selected Independent Funeral Home, a distinction earned through professional service, high ethical standards, and industry leadership.

These include traditional funerals, memorial services, graveside committals, cremation options, and celebrations of life.
