Johnny Miller

A graduate of Southern Illinois University, Johnny Miller is a second-generation funeral director and embalmer from Hazel, Kentucky.

Quickly outgrowing this location, Johnny and Denise moved their business two miles down Beechnut Street into their current location in 1998. Johnny and Denise reside in League City, Texas, with their four-legged child, "Hoot."
