When someone you love passes away, one of the first thoughts may be:

What do I do now?

Most people have never had to make that call before, and in the moment, it can feel overwhelming.

What happens next depends on where the death occurs — at home, in a hospital, nursing facility or elsewhere. But you don’t have to figure out every step on your own.

Once the appropriate medical personnel or authorities have been notified, your funeral home can help guide you through what comes next, answer your questions and begin making the necessary arrangements.

Knowing who you’re going to call before you ever need to make that call can bring a little clarity during an incredibly difficult moment.

If you have questions about what to expect or would simply like to be better prepared, call Joe at 203-758-3000.

We were proud to be part of the 21st Annual Naugatuck Senior Day at the Naugatuck Senior Center!

It was a great morning connecting with local seniors, community organizations and neighbors, sharing information, answering questions and simply spending time with the people who make this community so special.

At Corona Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, being part of the community means more than being there when a family needs us. It means building relationships, being available to answer questions and helping people understand their options before the need ever arises.

Thank you to the Naugatuck Senior Center for bringing everyone together for such a wonderful community event. We were grateful to be a part of it.

Have questions about funeral, cremation or preplanning options? Call Joe at 203-758-3000.

TAKE THE PICTURE.

You know the one.

The picture you almost don’t take because your hair isn’t done. You don’t like the way you look today. The house is a mess. Nobody is dressed up. Or someone says, “Oh, not now.”

Take it anyway.

Take the picture with your mom. Your dad. Your spouse. Your grandparents. Your siblings. Your best friend. Take the silly one. Take the ordinary one at the kitchen table. Take the picture nobody thinks is important.

Because someday, it may be one of your favorites.

We spend so much time waiting for the perfect moment that sometimes we forget the ordinary moments are the ones that make up a life.

So get in the picture. Hand someone else the camera.

At Corona Family Funeral Home, Joe sees every day just how much those photographs and everyday memories can mean to a family. If you ever need someone to help you honor those memories, call Joe at 203-758-3000 or visit cfhprospect.com.

FUNERAL HOME MYTH #1

“My family has always used the same funeral home, so I have to use them too.”

It’s something we hear more often than you might think.

The truth is, you always have a choice.

Choosing a funeral home is a personal decision. You can consider the level of service you receive, the options available, pricing, location, and—most importantly—whether you feel comfortable with the person guiding your family through the process.

At Corona Family Funeral Home, Joseph Corona believes families should be able to ask questions, understand their options and make the decision that feels right for them—without pressure.

Being informed before you ever need these services can make an already difficult time a little easier. You can learn more about Corona Family Funeral Home and the services available at cfhprospect.com or call Joe directly at 203-758-3000.

SAVE THE VOICEMAIL.

It might be nothing special today.

“Just calling to see how you’re doing.”
“Call me when you get a chance.”
“Love you. Talk to you later.”

Ordinary messages. The kind we listen to, smile at and sometimes delete without giving them another thought.

But someday, hearing that voice may mean more than you could ever imagine.

The little things often become the things we treasure most — a voicemail, a handwritten note, a favorite recipe, a photograph or a story you’ve heard a hundred times.

So when someone you love leaves you a voicemail, save one.

You never know when an ordinary moment might become an extraordinary memory.

At Corona Family Funeral Home, Joe understands that remembering someone is about so much more than a service. If you ever have questions or need someone to guide you through a difficult time, call Joe at 203-758-3000 or learn more at cfhprospect.com.

DOES SOMEONE KNOW WHERE THIS IS?

It’s a conversation most families never think to have.

If something unexpected happened tomorrow, would someone you trust know where to find your important information?

Your insurance policies. Important legal documents. Military records. Financial contacts. Medication information. Your wishes. Even the names and numbers of the people you’d want contacted.

You don’t have to have everything perfectly planned. But having one folder, one safe place, and one person who knows where it is can save the people you care about from searching through drawers, files and paperwork during an already difficult time.

Take a few minutes this week to put those important things together — and then tell someone you trust where to find them.

It’s a small thing you can do today that could make a very big difference someday.

Not sure what information you should have together or where to begin? Call Joe at Corona Family Funeral Home at 203-758-3000. He’s happy to answer your questions and help you think through the things the people you care about may need to know. You can also learn more at cfhprospect.com.

KEEP THIS NUMBER.

Hopefully, you won’t need it anytime soon.

When a death happens, families are often left trying to figure out who to call and what to do next — at a time when even simple decisions can feel overwhelming.

Having the number of a local funeral director already in your phone means one less thing to search for when the time comes.

Save Corona Family Funeral Home at 203-758-3000 in your contacts. Joseph Corona is available to answer questions, explain your options and help you understand what comes next. And if you’d simply like to learn more ahead of time, you can visit cfhprospect.com.

Hopefully, that number sits unused in your phone for a very long time. But when you need it, you’ll know exactly who to call.
