Talking about funerals can be uncomfortable and overwhelming…but it doesn't need to be.

With a growing number of options for planning and paying for funerals and celebrations of life, it is especially important that people obtain and understand important information which might affect them and their families for years to come. 

That’s why members of the Connecticut Funeral Directors Association are available for media interviews. Comprised of funeral directors at close to 220 funeral homes, the 136-year-old Wethersfield-based professional organization is committed to the promotion and advocacy of high ethical standards in funeral service. This includes ongoing development of certified training and educational opportunities for practitioners to ensure the best possible service to families in our state. 

Interviews are available with licensed funeral directors from all parts of Connecticut who have many years of experience of helping families.
