Save Thousands of Dollars on Funeral Expenses.

It looks odd at first doesn’t it?  One of the things that funeral homes rarely ever do is think about your family’s budget during a time of grief.  A handful of people have pre-paid their funeral, but for the rest of us it is not a subject we are prepared to broach until it is too late.  It would be nice if funeral homes were more in tune with our financial needs during this very stressful time.

Let’s face it, a funeral home will take you to the same church and the same burial plot that the others do.  Where the road begins to fork are the other ancillary expenses.  The casket can vary by thousands of dollars alone.  Little things add up to a lot such as the choice of flowers, music, the time spent before and after the services, etc.

Thank goodness there is one funeral home in the state of Connecticut who recognizes that and addresses the issue up front.  If you are skeptical about that claim then just visit the website of a very different type of funeral home in the Nutmeg state.  Go to www.colonialfunerals.com and see for yourself.  I will bet you have never seen a funeral home website like this one.  Please give them a call at (203) 407-8899.

Choosing the Right Burial Plot.

An important decision when planning a funeral is choosing the proper burial plot that meets your family’s needs.  Once the body is interred the price of removing it and moving to a different location can be very expensive and emotionally painful.  Make the right choice the first time - thinking of the survivors who will want to visit.

Here are important things to consider during the process:

1.  Price:  Make sure to include ALL aspects of the burial and get the final cost.
2.  Military affiliations:  See if your loved on qualifies to be buried in a federal cemetery.
3.  Religious affiliation:  Some cemeteries are only open to members of a certain denomination.
4.  Location, location, location:  Need we say more?
5.  Space:  Will other members of the family also be interred there?

If you live in the state of Connecticut you should contact Colonial Funerals. With Colonial you will know all of the prices before the stress takes over.  Not only are you able to make a more stress-free decision about the plot, but ALL aspects of the funeral at a much lower fee.  Contact Colonial Funerals at (203) 407-8899.   Or visit our website at www.colonialfunerals.com.
