The cremation rate is suppose to be 40% in Conneticut in 2010 according to the National Funeral Directors Association(NFDA) and the Hartfort, Courant.
This is an indication of further funeral industry decline as people move away from the traditional funeral.
“The economy is directing people to look for less expensive alternatives for everything, including funerals,” says Luke DiMaria, owner of Abby Funeral & Cremation Service Inc. in Rocky Hill. “It’s one of the reasons cremations have become much more popular.”
In 2005, close to 35 percent of Connecticut deaths ended in cremation, according to the National Funeral Directors Association, which projects that number will increase to about 40 percent in 2010.
