About Bassinger & Dowd Funeral Home

Bassinger & Dowd Funeral Home is an independently owned funeral home serving the East Windsor, Connecticut area. They offer full-service funeral arrangements, which typically includes burial and cremation options to meet a range of family needs. Their pricing may give some families pause — direct cremation starts at $3,180 and traditional burial starts at $2,300, a somewhat unusual structure where cremation costs more than burial, and both price points lean toward the higher end for the region. The funeral home currently holds a 2.9-star rating on Google based on 7 reviews, which is a relatively small sample but reflects a below-average score that families may want to take into account when considering their options; speaking directly with the staff before making a decision would be worthwhile.
