About Us

Over 50 years ago Guilford Funeral Home was opened by George F. Sullivan, Jr., who envisioned the need for a full servicing oriented funeral establishment to serve his community and the surrounding communities of Madison, Clinton, Killingworth and the Stony Creek, Branford areas. For over thirty-five years George Jr. ran the family business with his father George F. Sullivan, Sr. by his side. Together they prided themselves on treating every family they served as they were part of their own family. Key elements to this accomplishment were to give the families the feeling of being their guest and as if they were their one and only funeral.

Throughout the years the funeral home facility has seen many changes, which have enabled us to better serve our greater Guilford, but our commitment to personal service has stayed the same.

George F. Sullivan, III has been involved as a licensed funeral director since 1998. He has been instrumental in the transition of our past attributes into today's business operation. While maintaining our traditional core values and today's business attitudes the Sullivan family has merged the two to help us better serve our greater Guilford community.

In 2010, Garrett F. Sullivan completed his funeral studies American Academy / McAlister Institute in New York and joined our staff, shortly thereafter. He brings fresh new ideas to help maintain our family oriented independence. Garrett's extensive background in marketing and public relations will enable our family business to remain competitive locally and in even further reaching communities, like Clinton, Westbrook and Old Saybrook.

Today, amidst all of the large funeral home conglomerates / corporations, we remain a private family owned and operated funeral home. Among the communities we primarily serve of Guilford, Madison, Clinton, Killingworth and even as far as Westbrook and Old Saybrook we are the only family funeral home with over 50 years of dedication and experience. When you call or visit our home, you will always find a member of the Sullivan family. Our directors will help you create a ceremony that is meaningful and fully affordable for you and your family. Whether burial and / or cremation, our staff can take care of all arrangements, relieving you of all unnecessary burdens.

We'll always be here to help.
