Would you pay ONE MILLION dollars for a
burial plot? Believe it or not in New
York City people are paying up to that much for a final resting place. While Connecticut is nothing like New York it
is a fact that the cost of burials as well as the entire funeral process in
general is skyrocketing. The median cost
of a funeral in the U.S. has shot up from $700 in 1960 to $7,000 in 2012
according to the National Funeral Directors Association.
Christopher Coutts, an Associate Professor of
Urban and Regional Planning at Florida State University in Tallahassee, said
the price of funerals, along with shifting cultural and religious attitudes,
explains why cremations may become increasingly common. In 2012, 43 percent of Americans chose to be
cremated; in 1960, that number was 4 percent.
In the final analysis, it is a necessary evil
that we must face for ourselves and our loved ones. There is nothing we can do about the rising
cost that comes with the end of one’s life.
The only logical solution is to contact Colonial Funerals serving all of
Connecticut. They will discuss a proper
final tribute for your loved one at a very reasonable cost. Give Colonial Funerals a call at (203)
