Services
For all Title 19 or Medicaid Medicare recipients our staff at Abbey Cremation Service specializes in assisting you through this process. Our charges for immediate burial : (Without any rites or ceremonies at the funeral home, graveside or elsewhere.) Include removal of remains, transportation to cemetery, minimum services of staff, 20Ga Steel Casket and Concrete Grave Liner and Burial Permit.
With affordable cremation, burial costs are avoided. Even when families choose a cremation burial or cremation urn placement in a columbarium, the cost of interment is substantially lower. Interment of cremated remains uses less real estate, and does not require a burial vault. Direct cremation, cremation without other services, eliminates the cost of a funeral, and offers the lowest cost for cremation.

We received Excellent service from Abbey during these difficult times prices were reasonable and they told us they would be willing to work with us in any way they can, showing they cared and their were no additional fees or no hidden costs when picking up my dads ashes which made me at a peace with my decision when looking for a place to choose I had only only a few days to look for a place and this was one of the places I was given, I was impressed with the quick return phone call after I had called, they took down my name and number and someone got back to me that same day, they had comforted

Nobody wants to set up a cremation for their loved one, never mind spend more time there than necessary. My family member recently passed away and I was dreading having to do this. I was afraid it was going to take forever and I would cry the whole time. That wasn't the case at all at Abbey. Luke was wonderful. He was very direct and to the point but also respectful. We were in and out quickly without a hassle or tears. Luke made the process painless for my family and I would recommend Abbey to friends and family 100%.

Thank you for keeping my dad safe and loved until I was able to get the courage to pick him up after cremation. You're family is wonderful and I'm so pleased that I was able to have a positive experience after a very sad time in my life. Thank you.
I would highly recommend using Abbey for your loved ones.

My parents learned of Abbey from a friend of the family. Since it was their wish to use abbey cremation service I went along with it (after checking the ridiculous prices of cremation closer to home). I couldn't be happier with our choice. We prepaid and any question I had filling out the paperwork they answered immediately. Very easy process. When dad died at home they guided us through the entire process, working with the dr down in Trumbull to get the death certificate completed so we could have the church service on the day we wanted. All we had to do was drive to rocky hill, pick out

My husband, James Blumberg, passed away on September 11th of this year. We were told that he would be prepared, and he would have makeup applied by a cosmetologist. I was pretty disgusted at our private viewing. They washed his hair but they didn't comb it. It was one big matted mess. And there was ZERO makeup applied, because if there was his… entire forehead would not have been blood red. I understand that this place is the only place that DSS pays for cremation, but if you have to pay cash I'm sure you'll get top notch service. But because the state paid for it we got nothing what they

My ex husband & I lived together for 18 years and I cared for him for months before he passed away. His daughter & I went there and his daughter signed a waiver and consent form releasing his ashes to me (Laura Swanson) my sister Jeanne Kirby only paid for the cremation service because Carrie Jansen signed the consent forms needed.
I was told this morning that they released the ashes to Carrie Jansen... They can expect legal action from myself and sister! Don’t use these crooks!

I selected Abbey cremation because of a billboard advertisement and also because of the reasonable price.
My experience was not a good one. When my ex husband and best friend passed I contacted Abbey to employ their services. When filling out the necessary paperwork, I called to speak with Luke for help to make sure I was correctly filling out the papers. He asked me how I was related to the deceased and I did tell him that I was his ex wife. At that time he did not say that according to the State of Ct I was not authorized to be in charge of this. Instead, he continued to help me fill out

My father passed away unexpectedly at Waterbury Hospital on Sept 15,2017. I called a few places and Abbey's was priced ok. I called and spoke with Luke and he said that he would meet with me to talk over everything that needs to be done. I told him that I never had to do this before so I was not sure of everything. Well I get there and Luke was not there and was not going to be the one helping me with the planning for my dad like he said he would. I did not like the fact I was lied to right from the start. The lady that helped us puts us into a room to fill out papers, and then she brings

We live in RI and my father in law lived and passed away in CT. Luke was so nice and I felt comfortable right away when I called. I was in RI making phone calls while my husband was in CT taking care of what needed to be taken care of there. He answered all of my questions and I made an appointment with Luke for my husband for the very next morning. My husband felt the same way as soon as he met him. Luke was professional, knowledgeable, helpful and thoughtful. He made a tough time easier by making the process smooth and seamless. The facility was beautiful and was beyond my husband's expectations

My mother passed and they were recommended by the staff at Middlesex Hospital. Their service is top shelf. No trying to sell you anything you don't need. We had discussed with her what she wanted and we explained it to the staff.
They provided everything we needed at a very reasonable cost. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone.

My father past away unexpectedly, did not have any funeral arrangements in place and my parents were also in the midst of a financial crisis. So I had to figure out a way to handle his cremation arrangement and come up with the money to paid for it.
The hospital provided a list with a funeral homes in the area and after making a couple of phone calls I was easily looking at $2500 to $3,000 just to get my father cremated at a normal funeral home. After speaking with the hospital again asking what my options were for when my family did not have any money to pay for the funeral arrangements they
