Colonial Funeral Home

We would like to give a huge thank you to McAdams for the beautiful flowers they arranged for us to display at our locations and to The Grapevine Cafe for the wonderful catering they provided.

Colonial Funeral Home now has a designated Events Room for our families. No need for families to have guests come back to their homes or try to find a venue for their families to gather. We do all the set up, clean up and work with our caterers so our families don’t have to worry about anything. Just another example of the Dignity Difference

Many Americans celebrate Labor Day with parades and parties – festivities very similar to those outlined by the first proposal for a holiday, which suggested that the day should be observed with – a street parade to exhibit "the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations" of the community, followed by a festival for the recreation and amusement of the workers and their families. This became the pattern for the celebrations of Labor Day.

Speeches by prominent men and women were introduced later, as more emphasis was placed upon the economic and civic significance of the holiday. Still later, by a resolution of the American Federation of Labor convention of 1909, the Sunday preceding Labor Day was adopted as Labor Sunday and dedicated to the spiritual and educational aspects of the labor movement.

American labor has raised the nation’s standard of living and contributed to the greatest production the world has ever known and the labor movement has brought us closer to the realization of our traditional ideals of economic and political democracy. It is appropriate, therefore, that the nation pays tribute on Labor Day to the creator of so much of the nation's strength, freedom, and leadership – the American worker.

We apologize for any confusion caused by Mrs. Karen Fleeman’s obituary running in todays Victoria Advocate. It was not supposed to be in the paper and an update about the funeral being postponed was going to run in this Friday’s paper. We do want everyone to know, the funeral is still postponed at this time and will NOT be held this weekend.

Let us remember and honor all who died while serving in the U.S. military.

He is risen! He is risen indeed!

Passover is a celebration of the rekindling of life. Reading of the Haggadah, which tells the story of freedom from bo***ge, and the reaffirmation of faith. Passover (Pesach) marks the birth of Jews as a free people. http://bit.ly/3l7G1TBP

Each year, we acknowledge the work done and sacrifices made by men and women in uniform. On this date, our country remembers and reflects 80 years later on the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941.
