Valentine's Day Events in Connecticut

Valentine's Day event in Connecticut
February is the month of love, and Valentine's Day is right around the corner. Here are a few fun ways to celebrate with that special someone.

Pre-Planning a Funeral in Connecticut.

With the New Year comes resolutions, some of which are easier kept than others.  Most people put off pre-planning funeral arrangements no matter what time of year it is.  Why should you pre-plan a funeral?  For one thing it offers great emotional and financial security for your family.  Why do you have life insurance?  This is very similar.

The National Funeral Directors Association has developed a Bill of Rights for funeral pre-planning.  This helps you fully understand what to expect from a pre-need agreement.  Once you have made your arrangements it is important to keep a copy of the contract in a safe place that may be accessed upon your passing to make sure that the details are followed to the letter.

It is comforting to know that the lowest prices on any funeral in Connecticut, whether it is pre-arranged or not, will always be found at Colonial Funerals.  At Colonial we have dedicated our lives to keeping the cost of a funeral at a minimum and will continue to do so.  Please visit our website at www.colonialfunerals.com and give us a call at (203) 407-8899.

Tips for Saving on Funeral Expenses.

 
We rarely are prepared for a funeral and we certainly do not like shopping around like we would for a car or perhaps that dream home.   It is however, a necessary part of life.

At a very stressful time when a funeral is necessary in your family’s life it would be nice to have some prior knowledge of ways to save on final expenses before that time arrives.

Here are a few tips that might help.  Explore your options such as cremation and discuss this with your family.  Talk to different funeral homes to see which ones may be trying to “sell you” instead of serve you.  Purchase only what you want not what someone else tells you that you need.  Perhaps you may wish to skip the embalming process.  And maybe consider eliminating the vault as a final resting place.

Whatever you decide in the preparation or pre-preparation of a funeral always remember to check with Colonial Funerals.  They have been serving Connecticut with the most cost-effective services for decades and that family tradition of common sense without greed has put them in good stead throughout the years.  Visit their website at www.colonialfunerals.com or give them a call (203) 407-8899.
