We are pursuing excellence!


Miles Honored with NFDA Pursuit of Excellence Award

Three Years in a Row!


We are deeply honored to share that for the third consecutive year Miles Funeral Home has received the Pursuit of Excellence Award from the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA). Being selected by our peers in the funeral industry makes this especially meaningful as it is presented to only a select group of funeral homes across the country who demonstrate an ongoing commitment to families, staff, and community.


To be chosen, funeral homes must meet high standards and show strength in several areas which includes:



  • Compassion & Integrity – upholding the highest ethical standards while following state, federal, and NFDA guidelines.
  • Caring for Our Team – investing in education and professional development so our staff can continue to grow.
  • Supporting Families – offering thoughtful resources, programs, and care for those who are grieving.
  • Giving Back – staying actively involved in the community we are privileged to serve.
  • Serving the Profession – contributing to the broader funeral service profession through participation and leadership.
  • Reaching Out – sharing our services with families through meaningful communication and outreach.


This recognition is a reflection of the people we serve and the trust you place in us. We are grateful to our dedicated staff, to the families who allow us to walk beside them, and to the community that continues to inspire us every day.
