Colonial Crematorium, Inc.
Colonial Crematorium, Inc. was established as one of the areas first crematories open directly to the public. Our founders realized many families in the community could not afford or may not wish to use the services of a local funeral home, thus Colonial Crematorium, Inc. was created as more of a service to the community than anything else.
