BURIAL
At North Haven Funeral Home, we pride ourselves on our ability
to personalize and individualize each funeral service so that
it is a truly memorable experience and a fitting tribute. We offer
many unique and special services that set us apart from other
funeral homes. The way a person is remembered is as unique as
the person him/herself. We listen carefully to what your wishes
are and pay attention to every detail as we carry them out. Burial
or entombments in a mausoleum are just a couple of the choices
available. Our prices vary to reflect the charges for the services
and merchandise that you select.
CREMATION
Some families choose cremation over traditional burial. Cremation,
like burial, is a manner of disposition and your choice of services
before or after cremation is extensive. We are extremely flexible
and will do whatever we can to fulfill your wishes.
VETERAN SERVICES
Our veterans deserve the utmost respect, and
any veteran with an honorable discharge, regardless of financial
means, or even those with no living family, will always be given
full military honors and interment in a local, state, or national
cemetery.
We will also complete all applications for any
benefits to which a veteran or their family are entitled and eligible,
including but not limited to: securing an American flag; military
honors; headstone or marker and setting; monetary burial benefits
and transportation; even family assistance from Connecticut’s
Soldiers, Sailors and Marines Fund. If burial is in a veteran’s
cemetery, a grave can also be reserved for a surviving spouse.
The local U.S. Regional Office is P.O. Box 310909,
Newington, CT 06131. The phone number is 1-800-827-1000. If the
veteran had life insurance coverage with Government National Life
Insurance, please call 1-800-669-8477.
