Reflecting During the Holidays.

This is a time for gathering and reflecting.  Many of us have lost beloved family members in 2015.  That is the most difficult thing to come to terms with this holiday season.  And yet, if it was a life well lived it is also a time to reflect on the many beautiful holidays that your loved one was able to spend with your family.

Cherish the moments.  The people that surround you this holiday season may be those that you rarely see, but have known for many years.  Time, jobs, marriage, and other factors may have caused you to move in different directions throughout the years.  Be very grateful that you are together as a family this holiday season.

Your friends at Colonial Funerals wish you the happiest and healthiest holiday of all in 2015.

The Pain of Losing a Loved One During the Holidays.

There is nothing more painful than losing a loved one during the holidays.  A normally joyous time of year has been turned upside down by a family tragedy.  We hope this has not happened to you during this holiday season.  If it has our thoughts and prayers are with you.

One thing that you do not need at this time of loss is extra stress.  You are still trying to live your life for the younger people in your life that are planning on having a happy holiday season, while you are planning funeral arrangements for a beloved member of the family.  These two conflicting activities can be the most taxing thing that you will ever do.

If you live in the state of Connecticut please allow Colonial Funerals to help ease the pain and stress by making this process as cost effective as it can possibly be.  We will bring you to the same church and the same cemetery for thousands less.  Please give us a call and discover this fact for yourself at (203) 407-8899.
