Cremation is More Popular than Ever.

It's no secret that life expectancy in the U.S. is trending upward. A person born today can expect to live eight years longer than someone born in the 1970s. But there's another trend you might not know about--and it's related not to what happens while we're alive, but rather to what happens to our bodies after we die.

Today the percentage of Americans who are being cremated is nearing 50%.  It is no longer a second choice alternative, but rather a sensible first choice for a family.  Families no longer stay in the old hometown the way they used to.  Since cremation is usually cheaper than burial (at least when you don't use a cemetery to bury the urn), it's an attractive prospect for people that simply do not have the budget for a full-fledged funeral.

Colonial Funerals understands the stress that your family is under and we are here to help you make those final arrangements and save you money along the way.  Please call Colonial Funerals to understand the benefits of cremation at (203) 407-8899.
