Carmon Poquonock Funeral Home

For more than 65 years, the Carmon family and staff have cared for their neighbors in North Central Connecticut, honoring the traditions and wishes of all faiths and cultures with respect, compassion and professionalism. Carmon Community Funeral Homes is a nationally renowned leader in funeral service and innovative programs and services that help individuals and families during the emotional experience of bereavement. A primary focus is to be flexible enough to serve both the traditions of centuries past, as well as the wishes of families of today. The Carmon family and staff maintain strong relationships with eldercare attorneys and finance professionals to constantly stay aware of the latest changes in Connecticut eldercare law, preneed law, probate and estate processes, and veterans benefits. In 1994, Carmon Community Funeral Homes became one of only a few funeral homes in the U.S. to employ a full-time professional grief counselor to help families. Two years later, they helped to found Mary’s Place–a Center for Grieving Children and Families in Windsor. Mary’s Place provides a trusting atmosphere for Connecticut children and teens who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling or another significant person. For their dedication and care to their communities, Carmon Community Funeral Homes and the Carmon family have been honored with numerous awards including multiple Pursuit of Excellence Awards from the National Funeral Directors Association, the Connecticut Small Family Business of the Year from the University of Connecticut School of Business Administration, and the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Jeffrey Butland Family-Owned Business of the Year Award.
