South Green Memorial Home (Waszkelewicz Funeral Home)

South Green Memorial Home, also known historically as Waszkelewicz Funeral Home, is a trusted funeral service provider located at 43 Wethersfield Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut. As part of the esteemed Carmon Community Funeral Homes family, this location offers a blend of time-honored traditions and modern, compassionate care to families throughout the Hartford area. The facility is wheelchair accessible, with on-site parking, and provides both burial and cremation services to meet diverse needs.

The Carmon family’s legacy in funeral service began in 1946 when Frank W. Carmon Jr., a decorated World War II veteran, and his wife Nan founded their first funeral home in Windsor, Connecticut. Over the decades, the Carmon family expanded through respectful acquisitions of other family-run funeral homes, including South Green Memorial Home. Today, three generations of Carmons—Frank W. IV, John (Jay) Jr., and Matthew—carry forward the family’s commitment to excellence. The Carmons have earned numerous accolades, including the National Funeral Directors Association’s Pursuit of Excellence Award, Connecticut Small Family Business of the Year from the University of Connecticut, and the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Jeffrey Butland Family-Owned Business of the Year.

South Green Memorial Home offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to honor each life uniquely. Families can choose from traditional funeral services, cremation options, and veterans’ memorial services, including the provision of burial flags. The professional staff guides families through every step—from selecting caskets and urns to arranging music and floral tributes. Preplanning services are also available, allowing individuals to secure their legacy and provide peace of mind for loved ones.

Beyond direct services, Carmon Community Funeral Homes is deeply committed to community support. In 1994, the firm became one of the few in the nation to employ a full-time grief counselor. Two years later, they helped establish Mary’s Place, a center for grieving children and families in Windsor. The Carmon family also organizes educational seminars, support groups for young widows and widowers, and annual remembrance services. They have been instrumental in veterans’ initiatives, including fundraising for the National World War II Memorial and bringing the traveling Vietnam Wall replica to the Northeast.

Though currently listed as temporarily closed, South Green Memorial Home remains a respected name in Hartford’s funeral service landscape.
