🎉 Happy Birthday, Heather Butler! 🎉

The kind words shared by the families we serve mean more to us than we can ever express. ❤️

During life’s most difficult moments, our mission is to provide compassion, guidance, and care every step of the way. We are honored when families take the time to share their experiences and trust in our team.

If you’ve worked with Colonial Funeral Home, we invite you to read our family reviews or share your own experience. Your words help other families feel comfort, confidence, and peace when they need it most.

Thank you for allowing us to serve this community with dignity and compassion.

Planning ahead is one of the greatest gifts you can leave your family. ❤️

Many families are surprised to learn how quickly funeral costs can rise over time. Pre-planning allows you to make important decisions in advance and may help lock in today’s prices rather than paying higher costs in the future.

Every service is personal, and costs vary based on your wishes — including the type of service, casket selection, burial or cremation preferences, and more. Our caring funeral directors are always available to provide a General Price List and walk you through your options with compassion and transparency.

Start the conversation today for peace of mind tomorrow.

Congrats to Gary, our basket winner for the VFW Benefits Event!

05/21/2026

Today, we had the privilege of joining our local VFW alongside a representative from Veterans Affairs to help veterans and their families learn more about available VA benefits and resources.

Navigating benefits can sometimes feel overwhelming, and we’re grateful for opportunities like this that connect our community with the information and support they deserve. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, asked questions, and shared part of their story with us.

At Colonial Funeral Home, we are honored to support the men and women who have served our country — not only during times of loss, but throughout life’s journey.
