Funeral Q&A

Funerals. You've got questions? I'll give you answers.

I'm a funeral director/embalmer at the Norwich and Montville Funeral Home of Church and Allen.  It always seems like there's a list of questions people have for me once they find out what I do.  Many ask me the same question time and time again so I figure I'd like to answer those questions publicly so more people can get answers to their questions and benefit from this knowledge.

Additionally, I will occasionally post tips, little known facts on some of the following topics:

  • Burial versus Cremation: Cost difference, religious implication, common misperceptions
  • Veteran Benefits:  What our veterans are entitled to and where to get more info.
  • Pre-arranging and the benefits of doing so:  How it protects you and helps make your wishes known to your family.

And of course, I will try to tactfully answer your questions.  Of course if they are of a personal nature, please contact me directly for assistance.
