Mt. Laurel Crematory

Mt. Laurel Crematory, located at 807 Bloomfield Avenue in Windsor, Connecticut, is a state-of-the-art cremation facility operated by Carmon Community Funeral Homes. As an on-site crematory within the Windsor funeral home, it provides families with a convenient, secure, and transparent cremation experience. The facility is regulated by the Connecticut Department of Health, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), ensuring compliance with the highest standards of safety and environmental responsibility. Additionally, Mt. Laurel Crematory is a proud member of the Cremation Association of North America (CANA) and strictly adheres to the CANA Cremation Code of Ethics, guaranteeing ethical practices in every cremation performed.

The crematory is staffed exclusively by certified crematory operators who maintain an impeccably clean facility. A key feature of Mt. Laurel Crematory is its openness to the public: families are invited to inspect the facility prior to their loved one’s cremation and may even witness the start of the cremation process, offering peace of mind and closure. The crematory uses modern cremation chambers that operate at temperatures between 1,500 and 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, with the cremation process for an average-sized adult taking two to three hours. After cremation, all bone fragments are carefully processed, and non-consumed metals are separated using magnets and visual inspection. The resulting cremated remains, resembling coarse sand and weighing four to eight pounds, are returned to the family in a basic container at no charge or in an urn of their choice. Families can be assured that all remains are returned except for microscopic particles.

Mt. Laurel Crematory addresses common cremation concerns with clarity and professionalism. Two cremations are never performed simultaneously, as it is both illegal and physically impossible with modern chambers. Embalming is not required prior to cremation, and the facility provides a private viewing room for immediate family members to briefly view the deceased without embalming. A casket is not required; a rigid container is sufficient. Families have numerous options for the final disposition of cremated remains, including burial in a cemetery lot or cremation garden, inurnment in a columbarium, kept at home, or scattered on private property. The staff is available to discuss all options and assist with arrangements.
