A Dead Skunk…

Recently a dead skunk was placed at the doorway of Colonial Funerals of Hamden, Connecticut.  Now, Colonial has been serving all of the Nutmeg state for decades so you figure well, it’s just some kids playing a prank - maybe it was.  We will never know for sure.  But there is more to this story than meets the eye.  When a funeral home in a different state had the same thing happen AFTER they had advertised lower prices as well as caring service eyebrows were raised.

The beginning of the funeral home industry in America was in the 1750’s.  That is quite a tradition.  From the very beginning, funeral directors were guided by some sort of unwritten code not to talk price until the bereaved family was in their presence and VERY vulnerable.  Somewhere along the way some funeral directors realized that funerals are driven by cost just like the purchase of a home or car.

Colonial Funerals disposed of the unwanted dead skunk, but the odor of jealousy does not dissipate quite as quickly.  You can discover this for yourself by visiting them on the web at www.colonialfunerals.com or giving them a call at (203) 407-8899.  Dead skunks are for the middle of the road and don’t require funerals.
