The Memorial Legacy
Howard Miller Memorial carries forward a name that has stood for craftsmanship, care, and lasting quality for generations.
The Howard Miller story began in Zeeland, Michigan in 1926, when Howard C. Miller founded a company known for finely crafted clocks made to be treasured for years to come. Over the decades, that tradition grew into a broader legacy of thoughtful design, quality materials, and products created to become part of a family’s story. Howard Miller’s published history highlights that long arc from fine chiming clocks to heirloom furnishings and display pieces designed to hold what matters most.
That heritage is what continues to guide Howard Miller Memorial.
Our focus is simple: to offer memorial pieces with the same sense of dignity, beauty, and lasting craftsmanship that people have long associated with the Howard Miller name. We believe these pieces should feel personal, comforting, and worthy of the memories they are meant to honor.
As of April 2026, Howard Miller Memorial was reacquired by two longtime Howard Miller employees who stepped forward to keep this division running and to preserve its place for the families and funeral professionals who have come to rely on it.
That matters to us because Howard Miller Memorial is not being carried on by strangers. It is being continued by people who know the brand, understand its standards, and care deeply about the customers it serves.
Today, our commitment is to carry that work forward with warmth, respect, and personal service. We know that every order represents an important decision, and we want every family, funeral home, and partner we work with to feel supported from start to finish.
We are proud to continue this chapter of the Howard Miller legacy — with the same appreciation for craftsmanship, and with a renewed commitment to serving families with care.
