An interesting cemetery: beautiful, peaceful, and big…read more It's hard to get a sense of it, with the curved roads and slopes spotted with markers. If you take time to wander, there are hidden surprises not visible except on foot. In one section are several tall statues and crosses set in a circle but the circle is only noticeable when you're in it. It was weird, but it was a little "stonehenge-y". Probably not the best analogy for a Catholic cemetery, but with the large volume of Irish surnames here, the reference probably isn't too far off. It's really a beautiful cemetery and with an extraordinary variety of headstones: Huge, medium, small, ornate, engraved, simple and basic. In a part where it appeared as untouched ground, there are in-ground stones. It wasn't until I was walking to get a closer look at something else, I realized it. Across the grass, the tableau of the crucifixion breaks the view. It really is a fascinating cemetery likely befitting the community in which it is located.

Since then we are waiting for Dawn to talk to Lydia (sales rep) to call back. More than reasonable time frame; so We went personally 4 days ago Dec 4th and Kathy said Dawn done for the day because she left sick. Sebastian jump in the situation and told us "HE CANT STOP WHAT HE,she, it , THEY WAS DOING TO CALL DAWNS SUPERVISOR" WOW, 2 months waiting and a trip from Bristol to Bloomfield for the same answer "Dawn will call you back" NO CALL AT ALL, still waiting.

Totally RUDE, unprofessional and disrespectful behavior! I can only imagine the elderly people goin true hell with this people without nobody that can protect them.

Driven by this location many time was pretty surprised by the ease of getting in and getting out as the funeral was promptly after the business day concluded. There were ushers helping us park cars as it was a large gathering from in and out of state that was here to bid farewell to a friend and family. The lot was pretty tight yet served us well as I didn't have to fight for a spot and was heading inside. The staircase leading upstairs from the lot that I had parked was beautiful, though we all were dressed in black attire. Two different rooms for seating and the bigger room held the casket and visitors came to pay their respects. A decently sizes funeral home that some had to squeeze by others while there was still areas for groups to congregate. I imagine that a lot of thought and preparation was put into honoring this man and this funeral home did him justice. Cannot speak to the procession the day after to the cemetery as I couldn't attend but I imagine thar it was well organized and handle the business of the Elmwood West Hartford area.

My family relied on Carmon Funeral Home for the services of our father, brother, and most recently,…read moreour mother. Despite my parents' 69-year marriage and our clear intention for them to be laid to rest side by side, this outcome was not facilitated. The core issue is that no one on your staff raised the basic and essential question of whether my father should be placed in a location that would allow my mother to be interred next to him in the future. We had available plots that would have accommodated this, but the opportunity was missed. Presenting paperwork to a grieving family member during a wake, without guidance or explanation of long-term implications, is insufficient. While this may meet legal requirements, it falls short of the level of care and foresight that families reasonably expect during such vulnerable moments. When I brought this issue to the attention of the owner of Carmon, I was ignored.

Called the help line and the video service person said they were having technical issues so we were shut out of seeing her funeral live. Also, the feed did not allow us to remotely give a tribute to her. This funeral home needs to come into the 21st century. How many interactive services are now available (zoom, Skype, facebook messenger, etc). I hope this funeral home makes a change to an interactive service for reliability and to allow for remote tributes.

When we originally paid for the funeral we were told the point of prepaying is to protect you from rising costs.
