A Few Things You Need to Know About Millingtons

Millingtons remained in the one family for over 90 years. This allowed the family traditions and culture to be passed on since its inception in 1925 with Mr. Harold Millington as sole owner. The company then moved to the hands of Mr. Millington’s son-in-law Christian Fuglsang and daughter Betty Fuglsang before being owned by their two sons, Peter and Christopher Fuglsang.

After the death of Peter Fuglsang on 26 December 2012, his share of the business passed to his wife Vivien who, along with Christopher and his wife, Dianne Fuglsang, owned the business until selling in late 2015.

The day-to-day operations of the business are managed Travis Tann as General Manager.

• Making a difficult time easier for loved ones by expediting the arrangement process
• Looking after loved ones financially by contributing to your funeral costs with a pre-paid bond
• By pre-paying, your pension or income is unaffected with the amount paid not considered part of your assets
• Provides the family time to think and reflect, rather than tending to every
