Giving Funeral Service a Better Name.

Unfortunately, with all of the baby boomers online having used a funeral service in recent years many funeral homes are getting beaten up for their practices.  The boomers site a lack of empathy, trying to be “upsold”, and many hidden costs from the very beginning.  We don’t want you to think of funeral directors as “used car salesmen”.

If a funeral director is introducing you to their most expensive items and services first they may be doing you a disservice.  Do they say things to you such as “this is what your mother would have wanted”?  Have they made what you consider false promises which cannot be delivered on when needed?  Often you will find that they have priced a package which simply does NOT add up!

At this time of need and vulnerability it is important to find a funeral home that really cares about the same things you do…dignity and affordability.  For generations in Connecticut, residents of the Nutmeg State have praised the services of Colonial Funerals.  They are price-conscious and conscientious.  Please give them a call at their location in Hamden at (203) 407-8899.

Don’t Let Hidden Funeral Costs Bury Your Family.

In a time of grief, you are burying a loved one.  If you are not careful the entire family will also be financially buried.  The funeral industry is overrun with hidden fees that are mostly unnecessary, but are never challenged because a grieving family is not in the mood to negotiate or ask pertinent questions at a time such as this.

We want you to be educated as to some of these hidden, unfair charges.  You will almost always be shown the most expensive caskets first.  If visitation hours are extended there will be a much higher cost.  What is the funeral home charging for the program and the obituary?  There is a charge for a temporary grave marker...and much more.

So many of these needless extra charges can be avoided or reduced.  At Colonial Funerals, we want you to be completely informed as to the cost of a funeral in the state of Connecticut.  Our family owned business knows that your family is suffering and needs to stay within a budget.  Contact Hamden Connecticut’s affordable family funeral home Colonial Funerals at (203) 407-8899.
