I asked Rachel Moring five questions she had ZERO time to prepare forโ€ฆ and her answers floored me.

It was supposed to be a fun little rapid-fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ round.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Rapid Fire Wisdom from Chris Miller, owner of Thomas Miller Mortuary & Crematory in Corona, CA from E13 of the Deathcare Marketing Show

09/11/2026

What if your greatest marketing strategy wasn't your website...
..but your Character?

In this week's new episode, I sit down with my friend and client, Chris Miller, owner of Thomas Miller Mortuary & Crematory, to talk about something we don't discuss nearly enough in business:

๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฝ. ๐—œ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜๐˜†. ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ.

Over the years, I've watched Chris quietly build something remarkable...not just a successful funeral home, but a reputation that reaches far beyond its walls.

He didn't earn his community's trust through clever marketing.

He earned it by consistently showing up.

โœ… Serving others.

โœ… Living his values.

โœ… Leading with compassion.

In this conversation, Chris shares the lessons he's learned about leadership, community involvement, serving veterans, building relationships, and why the best marketing doesn't start with a campaign...

It starts with Character.

One of my favorite takeaways: "๐—ฃ๐—ฒ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜† ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ฑ, ๐—ฏ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐˜†'๐—น๐—น ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—บ ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—น."

If you own or work in a funeral home, or any business built on relationships...I think you'll find this conversation inspiring.

In this clip, Chris highlights how forward-thinking care providers build lasting community connection by hosting public grief events, outreach workshops, and community-first initiatives that prove they are far more than just a funeral home. As to truly thrive as a trusted local pillar, your presence has to extend beyond the four walls of your facility. ๐Ÿ›๏ธโœจ

Your funeral homeโ€™s legacy is built on compassion and trust. Modern tools can strengthen that foundation, not take away from it.

Every day, you give families the comfort and care they deserve, but too often, paperwork and phone tag pull you away from what matters most. Imagine freeing up valuable time each week, letting automation handle a little of the routine, so youโ€™re fully present for those who rely on you?

๐ŸŒฟ Advanced systems quietly manage basic logistics in the background
๐ŸŒฟ Personalized tools help nurture every family relationship
๐ŸŒฟ Streamlined workflows empower your team to serve with heart

**Modernizing doesnโ€™t mean losing your personal touch.** It means creating space for deeper connections, all while building a resilient, thriving business.

Keep your traditions. Grow your impact. You really can have both. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Can you relate?

POV: You paid for the software in March. It is September. The welcome email is still unread.

We all do it, we get excited about a new program or tool, we buy the thing, and then it sits.

Maybe you've noticed that calls are down, but you don't know why.

There is probably a simple fix, but where do you start?

You need to figure it out before you burn more money than you bring in.

Start with the assessment., let's figure it out together. Message me.

Sometimes the best signature brand identity starts completely by accident. ๐Ÿ‘”โœจ

Martin Thompson shared with me how honoring his father's memory by wearing a bow tie unexpectedly evolved into an unmistakable local brand, turning "the bow tie guys" into the most recognizable care providers in town.

One of the things I love most about hosting The Death Care Marketing Show is getting to sit down with people who have dedicated their lives to serving others.

In this episode, I had the privilege of talking with Martin Thompson, a respected funeral home owner whose career has spanned five decades of change in funeral service.

We talked about:
โœ… The biggest marketing mistakes he's seen (and made)
โœ… Why community involvement will always outperform flashy advertising
โœ… How funeral service has changedโ€”and what never should
โœ… What independent funeral homes can do to thrive in today's changing world
โœ… The leadership lessons only experience can teach

One of my favorite takeaways from Martin: "Caring is still what matters most."

Sometimes the best ideas aren't the newest ones. They're the ones that have stood the test of time.

If you're a funeral director, owner, or anyone passionate about serving families well, I think you'll really enjoy this conversation.

Have you ever worried about saying the wrong thing to someone who is grieving?

The truth is... most of us have.

In this clip from my conversation with Sherrie Dunlevy, grief literacy expert, speaker, and author, she shares some of the most common things people say after a death that, while well-intentioned, can actually make a grieving person feel more alone.

More importantly, she explains what to say instead.

One of my favorite reminders from our conversation:

"People don't remember perfect words. They remember genuine ones."

If you support grieving families, or simply want to be a better friend, neighbor, or coworkerโ€”this is a conversation everyone should hear.

Saundra Neperud is a widow, and she shared how when her husband died, she was looking for support, but it wasn't there. And she's not alone.

๐ŸŽ™๏ธ New Episode Alert! | Death Care Marketing Show | E10

"When Everyone Goes Home: Why Funeral Home Aftercare Is Your Best Marketing Strategy, with Saundra Neperud"

What happens after the flowers fade...

After the casseroles stop coming...

After everyone else goes back to their lives...

For most grieving families, that's when the hardest part begins.

But it's also when funeral homes have the greatest opportunity to make a lasting difference.

In this week's episode, I sit down with Saundra Neperud, founder of The Grief App, to talk about America's growing **bereavement care deserts** and why meaningful aftercare isn't just compassionate care, it's one of the most powerful ways to build trust, strengthen your reputation, and become an indispensable resource in your community.

One of my favorite takeaways:

"The funeral ends. The relationship shouldn't."

If you're looking for a way to serve families more deeply while creating lasting relationships that span generations, I think this conversation will inspire you.
