Cristina graduated Summa Cum Laude and as Class President from the University of Minnesota Medical School’s Program of Mortuary Science. Cristina previously worked as a Program Director and County Case Manager overseeing facilities specialized in helping adults with developmental disabilities. After completing her bachelor’s degree in psychology, she decided to pursue her dream of becoming a Funeral Director and obtained her second degree. Cristina is excited to continue carrying out her goal of helping others. 

In her spare time, Cristina enjoys being outdoors, trying new restaurants, and socializing with family and friends. Cristina resides in the western suburbs of the Twin Cities with her partner, Michael, her daughter, Ivy, and their dog, Luna.

Steve grew up on a farm in southern Minnesota and graduated with a high school class of fewer than forty students. He went on to Gustavus Adolphus College where he earned a degree in psychology and then continued to the University of MN-Twin Cities for his degree in mortuary science. Having been in the field for well over two decades, Steve has been committed to service and helped several thousand families over the course of his career. If you can ease someone's suffering, be useful and help your fellow humans, you've led a good life.  He resides in the northwest suburbs with his wife, children, and family dog.

Steven was raised in Brooklyn Park, and his first job was bagging groceries at Holiday Foods in Fridley. He worked at the Fridley Target until graduating from Park Center High School in 1980. 

Steve attended the University of Minnesota in search of a medical degree. While going to college, he worked at Hennepin County Medical Center on an Oncology Unit. This experience helped him understand some of the pain and suffering that individuals endure and the loss that families encounter while struggling with the effects of cancer and death. Because of the life changing experiences he had with these individuals and their family members, Steve changed his educational direction and in 1985, registered for the Mortuary Science Program at the University of Minnesota. After graduating from the University of Minnesota in 1987, Steve joined the Miller family and has been with them since that time. 

Steve and his wife Monie were married in 1985 and they live on a small hobby farm just north of Anoka. Steve and Monie are very actively involved with their children and with their church. 

"Our team here works very hard, with compassion, sincerity, and integrity to meet the needs of those who choose our funeral home".

Delaney spent several years working in funeral service prior to joining the team here in 2023. Her interest in the field came through a friend at Lake Mills High School whose parent was a funeral director. In 2018, Delaney moved to Minneapolis to start her career. She first served as a funeral attendant and administrative assistant, later gaining her crematory operator license. 

From helping families plan services to working behind the scenes with funeral directors, Delaney has enjoyed learning all sides of funeral service. She's thankful for the team around her supporting and coaching her through her career development. Knowing she is making a difference in the lives of others has been a very gratifying experience. 

Delaney and her partner live in Minneapolis with their pets and enjoy being outdoors, attending concerts, thrifting, and trying new restaurants.
