The Price of Caskets Cause Grave Concerns.

We don’t mean to be flippant, but one of the fixed costs of funerals is changing.  As Baby Boomers come to the end of their lives the number of deaths in the US is projected to be 3.6 million by 2036, according to a Wall Street Journal report.  That is up a whopping 50% from where it is now!

The choice of cremation over pricier caskets has caused the casket makers an increased hardship.  In this report, it indicated that U.S. casket shipments are expected to total $456 million by 2020 which will be down from a high of 1.2 Billion in the year 2000.  Some funeral homes are now “pushing” a more expensive URN to make up for the revenue loss.

Colonial Funeral Home, serving all of the great state of Connecticut, simply does not do that!  They listen to your needs.  No one at Colonial Funerals is trying to “sell” you.  A funeral on a budget in Connecticut is their motto.  See for yourself by visiting their website at www.colonialfunerals.com and give them a call in Hamden at (203) 407-8899.
