Nowadays, many people choose a direct cremation option because it’s efficient. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s effective. In fact, from our experience, those families often come back to us later wanting to “do something more” to honor their loved one.

That’s why we encourage families to choose a service option that helps them take the time to honor and remember their loved one in a personal way. Whether the service is simple or elaborate, taking the time to mourn a loss with a meaningful service can actually help families get on the road to healing much sooner.

And don’t worry – we won’t leave you on your own. We’ll be there every step of the way. Simply give us a call at 203.259.0824 or visit www.spearmillerfuneralhome.com for more information.
