This attractive maroon and lilac Victorian definitely breaks the mold of the typical gloomy funeral home...and that is the probable intended message of the Monarch Society which on its webpage (
visit link) describes itself thusly:
"Monarch Society is an alternative to the costly traditional funeral homes. Locally owned and operated since 1982, we are dedicated in providing our utmost in funeral service here in Colorado. Serving all faiths, it is our purpose to provide thoughtful service to our families. We own and operate our on-site crematory and facility in our Victorian home.
Many people desire to avoid the elaborate trappings of the conventional funeral. They may have experienced the pressure which results from feeling, in effect, that the amount of money they spend on a funeral is directly proportionate to the love and respect they have a family member or friend. They desire and prefer to take steps to relieve their families of the emotional and financial burden of completing complicated arrangements and making decisions regarding large amounts of money during an emotionally trying time. They have found a price tag of $12,000 for a traditional funeral too high, with little other choice presented.
We offer a solution through a simple, inexpensive membership which assures that the wishes of our members will be carefully and respectfully followed."
Unfortunately the Society doesn't include any information or history of their building.
