Save Money on Funeral Costs.

Many people don’t realize that prices can vary greatly between funeral homes.   In recent years, many family-run funeral homes (and local cemeteries) have been taken-over by big global corporations.  What often happens is that many of these big corporate funeral homes often keep the original owner’s family name on the door so they don’t scare away their old customers.  Unfortunately, these corporations often raise prices by 30% to 50%.

Always check to see if there has been a change in ownership at a funeral home that has had the same name for years.  And even if you find that the funeral home is under the same ownership you still need to check their pricing.

Choosing a reasonably-priced local funeral home instead of one of the many corporate funeral homes can substantially reduce your out-of-pocket funeral expenses.  Believe it or not this may reduce your overall funeral bill by $2,000 – to $4,000 for the same exact items!

This same principle applies to cemeteries.  These funeral corporations have also been buying up many of the older, better established cemeteries across the country.  They know that you are more likely to pay their larger fees just to be buried next to a deceased relative.

Avoid exorbitant funeral costs!  Before you make a final decision, check with Colonial Funeral Home.  They are proud to offer the same services at a lower cost.  Call them at (203) 407-8899 or visit their website to see the truth for yourself at www.colonialfunerals.com.
