Miller & Ketcham Funeral Home

Miller & Ketcham Funeral Home is a historic, family-oriented funeral service provider serving the communities of Brandon and Fair Haven, Vermont, as well as surrounding areas in Rutland and Addison counties and Washington County, New York. With a legacy dating back to 1827, it holds the distinction of being the oldest continuously operating funeral home in the state of Vermont. Originally founded by H. H. Hill, who served as both a funeral director and cabinet maker, the funeral home has passed through the hands of respected directors including Edgar N. Miller, Arthur S.

These include traditional burial services, cremation services, and memorial services. They also provide pre-arranged and pre-paid funeral planning options, allowing individuals to make their wishes known and relieve loved ones of the burden of decision-making. The staff offers complete, confidential consultations and is available around the clock to assist families even when a death occurs away from home. The funeral home is equipped with wheelchair-accessible entrances and parking lots, ensuring that all guests can participate comfortably. Financial assistance options are also available for those in need.

In addition to core funeral services, Miller & Ketcham provides an array of resources to support families through the grieving process.
