Just want to say that Peter ,is a Nice ,straight forward, caring man,he helped my family in are hardest hour,took the time to listen through are tears to hear what we wanted and made sure it got done,even though we had more than enough money and never had to make those hard decisions, he didnt try to take advantage of us and get us for every penny we had,when all was said and done my mother was as beautiful as when she lived. When that time comes for my father to take his final hour we have things in the works with this family (Colonial) to take care of him just as respectful as he took care of my mother.,I thank you Peter and Colonial Funeral Home for all the love and respect to my family and putting my mothers cares before trying to bleed us dry we Thank You The McLaurinIs and Hoovers

I would highly recommend peter and the colonial funeral home. He did a great job with my mothers funeral and guided me every step of the way to make sure I was happy. He was always there when I had questions. The funeral home was very clean and well organized. I couldn’t thank him enough.

This is the second time using Colonial. First, was Grandma and now Dad. I can only say Thank you so much! My dad looked so sharp and peaceful. The gentleman that was in charge during the church service- I believe his name was Jess, Wow! Exceptional service. He was so nice. Very attentive. Beautiful words. Well-mannered. I can only say good things, we appreciate the attention given and the respect in which he treated everyone especially the family. God bless him. Peter ( the owner) great attention to detail, great attitude and service. Paul (Peters dad) - thanks for making us laugh. I have no complains. From beginning to end Peter, your family and your staff were awesome. Thanks. Definitely recommended.We have attended other services of family and friends carried out by Colonial and all have been beautiful.

Losing a love one is one of the most difficult things to go through, especially, when its unexpected. My family and I would like to extend our sincere gratitude and appreciation to Peter and the entire Colonial family for all their hard work, for being patient, supportive and loving. Peter, over the years youve serviced my family as they were one of your own; you have no idea how much this truly means to us! May God bless you and your family continuously!!! Love the Moncrease & Mullins family

I couldnt thank The Colonial Funeral Home enough! I loss my brother to a tragic fire. Peter is such a caring person and I felt it was genuine. He really treats you like family and goes above and beyond! He made sure all our needs and wants were met! Like another reviewer stated its not all about the money with him. We were not prepared for this tragedy and Peter was willing to do anything to work with us. My brother had a beautiful service thanks to the help of Colonial Funeral Home! I will definitely recommend them to family and friends! Peter thanks for all your patience and help through our loss! You ROCK!

During my familys most difficult times, Colonial Funeral Home has been a beacon of support and professionalism. Peter went out of his way to go over all of our options so that my family could lay to rest our mother, sister and cousin with dignity and pride. Each family loss and situation had its own obstacles but the one solid solace was knowing that Colonial Funeral Home would be handling our home going services for our loved ones. The compassion and patience displayed was far beyond any standard in services provided in the past by other funeral homes. No one likes the idea of planning a funeral but some things are inevitable, and when that time comes we will continue to entrust Peter at Colonial Funeral Home.

Peter Moraski is the absolute most best wonderful person and business ever.

I am not one to write reviews on businesses. I didn’t even know how. I felt strongly that others know what Peter did for my family. Peter was compassionate, caring and courteous to my family. My brother lost his son and there was nothing we could do to ease his pain or to comfort him. We met with Peter and he made sure we were at ease. He had my brother at ease and my brother left saying my son is in good hands. Peter went above and beyond. He kept his word. He was truly amazing. Thank you Peter. You were a blessing. I know you will continue with success bc what you do for others is beyond words. I wish there were more people like you.

First and foremost, trying to plan a funeral for your loved one with literally no knowledge of what to do or where to go, is a lot more than most can handle. However from the first phone call I was put at ease with the professionalism and out right kindness of Mr. Peter Moraski and staff. He had also handled funeral services for my cousins husband so I was somewhat familiar with his work but hadnt met or spoken with him at that time. Peter has been a true God send to my family. Everything was explained in detail and in simple terms so there would be no confusion. There was no hassle, nor hidden agendas. When Peter said we could call at anytime and for virtually anything, he meant it. I am so appreciative and thankful my family chose Colonial Funeral Home for my dear aunts services. I would highly recommend Colonial to any and everyone. It was truly refreshing to find an establishment that honestly loves what they do and it completely shows in their work.

Colonial Funerals handled the arrangements for my father. I sent the inquiry on a holiday and I wasnt expecting a response until the following day. In less than an hour Peter Moraski emailed me back offering condolences and inquiring when my schedule would allow me to come in and meet with him. My sister and I met with him the following day and he was kind, gracious and in one word: amazing. He provided guidance and made some phone calls to assist with the arrangements right then and there. When my sister and I left we felt like a giant burden had been lifted off of our shoulders. The care and consideration Colonial Funerals provided during the service for my father was likewise done in excellence. My father looked at peace like he was sleeping. Peter didnt nickel and dime us and there are some services that Colonial Funeral provides gratuitously. This was the complete opposite experience I had at another funeral home located in New Haven which shall remain nameless. Losing a loved one is difficult and the last thing you need is a funeral home that only cares about the bottom line. Colonial Funerals truly cared about us and our needs and did everything possible to assist and accommodate us in this difficult time. I would highly recommend Colonial Funerals. ~ Kim Bush

My siblings and I had never planned a funeral and we weren’t to sure where to start. A friend recommended going to Colonial and we couldn’t be happier that we did. Peter made such a difficult time very easy for us and took excellent care of our mother. He, his wife and Jesse went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of. He kept his word and was so caring towards our family. He explained everything clearly and double checked everything to make sure it was exactly how we wanted it. He was truly a blessing during such a difficult time and we are very grateful to him and his staff for the service and support they provided us. Thank you- The Spears family

From my first phone call with Colonial Funeral Home Owner/Director Peter I knew I was speaking with someone I could trust to give me honest advice and straight forward pricing.I originally called CFH just to ask about availability and pricing of caskets and urns from his funeral home. I had already found another location I was sure I would end up using and only wanted to reach out to CFH to get a couple questions answered but after speaking with Peter I got the feeling that he really just wanted to help and his only goal was to help me get exactly what I wanted for my mother as easily and fairly as possible.He was so wonderful that when I hit a speed bump with my original funeral home choice I knew exactly who to call to get advice without being pressured or feeling rushed. He was so wonderfully helpful that we ended up switching funeral homes and not only did Peter help me get everything I wanted exactly how I wanted it but also saved me over $2k while living up to every expectation!I would reccomend CFH to ANYONE who is either a first time funeral and burial customer or anyone who wants to get everything their loved one deserves for a fair and honest price. He was incredible! THANKS AGAIN PETER!

Colonial Funeral Home promotes itself as a home that will provide you a lot lower costs than other funeral homes. While I have no doubt that is true, I dont think that is telling a complete story. My sister and I just laid my mother to rest today and we cant say enough about the quality care and tremendous service we received throughout the entire process from Director Peter Moraski and his staff. My Mom, a New Haven native, had gone to live with my sister in New Jersey, where she passed last week. Peter personally went to NJ last Saturday to transport her back to Hamden. He then met us at 8pm Sunday to go over everything that we had to do to have a service on Thursday. Every recommendation from how to construct the service program to where to have the Re-pass turned out to be the best option. From start to finish, he made us feel at ease. Peter was always available for offer suggestions. Peter was kind and really cared that everything came out as we wanted it, and it was a flawless. We cant thank Peter enough. While his price may be right, its the value that we felt Peter provided that will be most everlasting in our minds. Needless to say, we highly recommend using Peter and the Colonial Funeral Home.

Peter was the only funeral director we met with to preplan for my mothers funeral that did not immediately quote the maximum Medicaid allowed for funerals. He was more concerned with exploring her final wishes and offered a number of options to meet those. Peter is the consummate professional and all of the specifics that were planned for were executed with care and dignity. Every aspect, from dealing with the cemetery, coordinating the priest and recommending florists, were handled as if Peter was dealing with a family member. We highly recommend Peter Moraski and Colonial Funeral Home.

My father had died very quickly and unexpectedly from cancer and I was left to make the arrangements for him and was in a bind. After calling many places and asking if they took payments or some kind or arrangement everyone said no and offered me no other options. Upon calling Colonial Fineral Home in Hamden, Ct and asking them the same question Peter who answer the phone and owner was more than helpful and even checked to see if my father qualified for the states assistance which he did and made the process so much easier for me. To me this is the best place around, they are very helpful and caring and not just out to make a buck off you when your loved one passes like the other places. Thank you Peter for the pleasant and easy process.

They were very professional and kind.My dad arrived at Puerto Rico in perfect condition for the viewing here.The service was not expensive, very affordable. I didnt think we would have the money. Thank God we could view him there and here and didnt need to get a loan because I heard it could be very expensive.I again Thank them and Peter for their kindness and patience.Si necesitan un servicio economico y bueno, comunicanse con ellos para El envio de su ser querido cuando le llegue El momento.
