They will quote an attractive price over the phone, but when you come into the funeral home they inform you that there are a few extra fees which they forgot to mention. We believe this practice is disrespectful to your family and unethical. Our unique consultative arrangement process begins with you describing the type of service you have in mind and your family's budget. Next we will explore a wide variety of options that will help reduce the total price while maximizing the value of your service.

read moreFamilies are often surprised to learn that the price for cremation varies fairly significantly in the Waterbury area. The primary reason behind the different prices is the services offered by the cremation provider. When someone passes away there are over a dozen different tasks which must be completed even if no funeral ceremony is planned. The actual cremation of the deceased is just one of those tasks. If a service provider is quoting a low price it is because they are only providing the actual cremation and ignoring the rest of the tasks.

read moreAll we need to do is say the word "funeral" and within microseconds, you have an image in your mind of what a funeral looks like. This mental image comes from many sources: the geographical place, culture and society in which we live; our faith; our life experience. Obviously then, a funeral service in Borneo would look very different from one held in Tanzania; there are even significant differences between the funerals held in ethnically and/or geographically diverse regions of North America. Yet, despite the differences, these funeral services have much in common.

First is the purchase price of the "right to use" the burial plot (unlike a real estate purchase, where you buy the land and all the structures on it; here you are only purchasing what is called the "interment rights" to the land). In addition, there are fees for the "opening" and "closing" of the gravesite; and any fees required to obtain the necessary permits and to maintain cemetery files and records. In addition, there's the fee for the use of any special equipment (such as a casket-lowering device); as well as the costs for any other services or items purchased.

It is a bittersweet reminder of all we've lost, but it can also help us to remember all we enjoyed while they were alive. If you have recently lost someone you love, we hope that you will accept our condolences.
