Burial vs. Cremation.

Have a plan.  No one wants to face this situation, but we all must.  When the end of life comes and if your beliefs allow should you choose burial or cremation?  It is something that you should discuss long before it is necessary to make that decision.  However, too few people in the state of Connecticut have a clear vision of the pros and cons of each.


Here are some of them…

With burial -
1.  Embalming is typically part of the process
2.  A casket is involved
3.  A funeral followed by a burial is conducted shortly after death
4.  Following burial it is up to the family to maintain the plot

With cremation -
1.  No embalming
2.  A casket is not needed
3.  A memorial service can take place when and if the family is prepared
4.  The cremated remains may be placed in an urn or scattered at a special place.

Whatever you decide we promise to do the job for less.  We are Colonial Funerals located in Hamden.  Colonial Funerals is a price-conscious funeral home serving all of Connecticut.  See for yourself by visiting our website at www.colonialfunerals.com and actually see our pricing!  Then give us a call at (203) 407-8899.

We’re not in any hurry…if you’re not.

Choosing the right funeral home to meet your family’s needs should not be a rash decision made in haste.  Of course, we don’t want to dwell of the inevitable, but that is just what it is…inevitable.  Every funeral home carries the same message…serving the community for decades with care and concern for your loved ones.  Of course they do!

How many funeral homes really care to save you money?  That never seems to come up does it?  I mean, we spend a lifetime looking for a good deal.  We buy cars, houses, handbags, shoes, televisions with the most important tenant being…did I get a good value for my money?  Why would it be any different at the end of a life well lived?

There is one funeral home in the state of Connecticut that sees it differently.  At Colonial Funerals they will take you to the same church and the same cemetery, but their focus is giving you a bargain.  You spent your whole life looking for them and now you and your loved one will get the ultimate bargain.  See for yourself.  Visit their website at www.colonialfunerals.com and you will see what we mean.
