Recognizing Excellence in Connecticut.

It is one thing to be excellent at what you do.  It is quite another to completely dominate the competition.  It only happens rarely in our sphere of influence.  More and more in our society we have the “everyone gets a trophy” mentality.  It takes much of the competitive spirit out of our children and even adults.

What the Connecticut University women’s basketball team has done is not just remarkable…it is ground breaking.  They have shown us that it is okay to dominate in a classy and respectful manner.  The face of that dominance is their coach Geno Auriemma.  If you are not familiar with the women’s basketball team and its impact on the sports world feel free to Google it.

Colonial Funerals serving all of Connecticut for decades wants to recognize this extraordinary group from the Constitution State.  Dignity, price, and environment are the concerns of Colonial Funerals.  Please visit the website of a very different type of price conscious funeral home.   Go to www.colonialfunerals.com and see for yourself.  Please give them a call at (203) 407-8899.

Considering Your Environmental Impact after Death.

It is always an awkward subject.  What is the right way to leave your mark on your family when life has reached its end?  Traditional American views on burial and cremation are evolving as we pay greater attention to our impact on the environment.  Not only that, but the equally unpleasant rising funeral expenses become a consideration as well.

Did you know that cemeteries nationwide bury nearly one million gallons of embalming fluid every year?  There are also an additional nearly 100 thousand pounds of steel being put into the ground just from caskets.  In burial vaults there are over one and a half million tons of concrete added to structures throughout the United States.

There is one funeral home in the state of Connecticut who recognizes that and addresses these issues.  Dignity, price, and environment are the concerns of environmentally conscious Colonial Funerals.  Please visit the website of a very different type of funeral home in the Nutmeg state.  Go to www.colonialfunerals.com and see for yourself.  Please give them a call at (203) 407-8899.
