Our story

As one of the oldest and most recognizable landmarks in the area, Brookside Funeral Home and Memorial Gardens is a stately ode to Millbrook history. Established in 1997, our funeral home and cemetery has evolved greatly over the years to accommodate the evolving needs of our community. Yet our commitment to service remains the same. Even as we modernize our services and facilities, we stay true to our belief that honoring and celebrating life is deeply sacred and personal.
