A Time for Mom.

May is the time of year when thoughts turn to mom.  Mother’s Day may have come and gone, but moms all over Connecticut and around the world should be honored 365 days a year.  Colonial Funerals serving all of Connecticut hopes that you will remember mom if she is no longer with us, or praise her each day if you are fortunate enough to have her around.

The tradition of Mother’s Day goes back more than 100 years and has grown ever since.  Around the turn of the century there were even “Mother’s Day work clubs” to teach women how to properly care for their children.  By 1912 many states, towns and churches had adopted Mother’s Day as an annual holiday.

The truth is the bond between mother and child begins many months before that baby enters the world and grows exponentially from there.  Here at Colonial Funerals we honor your mom and all moms this time of year and always.  If and when you need the services of a caring and fairly priced funeral home, please contact Colonial Funerals serving the great state of Connecticut at (203) 407-8899.

How Much Does the Average Funeral Cost?

It is estimated that the average American funeral costs $6000.  If you believe that statistic I have a bridge in Central Connecticut for sale.  Unfortunately, this $6,000 estimate is several years old and doesn’t take into consideration the additional expenses associated with burial in a cemetery and the purchase of a headstone.  Once all funeral-related costs are factored in, the typical traditional funeral service will cost the average family closer to $8,000 – $10,000.

These additional goods and services that add another $2,000 to $4,000 to the price of a funeral is where the family gets stuck.  Unfortunately, many families do not find this out until after they have signed a contract for the funeral services with the funeral director.

This situation will occur in every family from time to time.  Let Colonial Funerals, serving all of the great state of Connecticut, take the mystery and the hidden costs out of the equation.  They offer the very same services for much less than other Connecticut funeral homes.  Check for yourself.  Give Colonial Funerals a call at (203) 407-8899.  You deserve peace of mind.
