Funeral Services & Cemeteries near Basking Ridge

“I can not say enough about how wonderful the team at Gallaway & Crane was in helping my family say good bye to my mother. I had to orchestrate her funeral from 1000 miles away and they were kind, helpful and always available when I called. They made recommendations for the florist and the repast (Basking Ridge Country Club) which greatly exceeded my expectations. When I lost the cremation certificate the night before the burial--and you can't inter ashes without it--Mike Galaway took my panicked call at 9 pm on a Sunday night and told me he'd get me a duplicate first thing in the morning and to not worry. They came through for me and our internment at 10 am at a cemetery in Staten Island was completed as planned. The service was executed exactly as I hoped, the flowers were gorgeous, the food at the repast was excellent and most of all, my mother was treated with dignity and respect. I have nothing but high praise for these outstanding and dedicated professionals.“

“The team at Branchburg Funeral Home was amazing during our time of sadness and despair. We primarily worked with Jason and Serena, who went above and beyond for us. Serena even returned our call at 2:00 a.m., showing true dedication. They provided a warm, welcoming environment and took care of us completely. We are incredibly grateful for their exceptional care and support.“

“We recently entrusted Layton Funeral Home with arranging the interment of our son’s cremains, and we are deeply grateful for their compassionate and professional service. From our first contact, Mr. George Layton showed genuine empathy, noting carefully our wishes, answering our questions-and promptly- and guiding us through the process with patience and a caring attitude. The arrangements were handled with the utmost respect and attention to detail.

He took the time to ensure that aspects of the interment reflected our son’s memory and our family’s preferences, from the selection of the urn’s placement in our family cemetery plot to holding a small, meaningful interment at the grave.

We want to thank the Laytons for helping us give our son a respectful “rest”, and arranging a beautiful, serene, and loving place with his forebears.“

“As other reviewers have said, I agree 100%, Craig is the best!! Super personable. Can't say enough positives about him. Thanks so much for helping us with the loss of our mother. HIGHLY recommended!!“

“The service at Judkins Colonial was excellent. The staff were professional, kind, and supportive throughout the process. I truly appreciated their help and the way everything was handled with care and respect.“

“We wanted to take the time as a family to thank Anna and staff at Bongiovi. From the first call after we lost our beloved family member, to our final visit, Anna and staff were very receptive, warm, and empathetic. There was a slight miscommunication with our plan, and they went above and beyond to make everything perfect. Thank you from all of us. During such a difficult time, Anna made us feel so comfortable. Thank you.“

“We are deeply grateful to Hagan-Chamberlain Funeral Home for the exceptional care and compassion they showed our family during the passing of our father. From the very first phone call, every member of the staff treated us with kindness, patience, and professionalism.

They guided us through each step of the process with clarity and respect, helping to ease the burden during such an emotional time. The service was beautifully arranged — dignified, heartfelt, and exactly what we envisioned to honor our father’s memory.

Special thanks to Joanna, Megan and Anne for going above and beyond. Their support made a world of difference to our family, and we truly felt like we were in caring hands throughout.

We highly recommend Hagan-Chamberlain Funeral Home to any family in need of compassionate and professional funeral services.“

“At first I did not know what to think but the service was handled so professional. My sister look like she was sleeping. No complaints.“

“This is a pretty small but incredibly beautiful church. Both of my nephews were baptized here in intimate family gatherings. I've never attended an actual Catholic mass here, but I can't say enough about the ornate detailing and serene atmosphere. The grounds outside are nice to sit in before and after, with a little stream and bridge over top.“

“I would like to give a big thank you to Joe and John for the wonderful work the two did servicing our family. I had to sadly say goodbye to my 13 year old daughter due to cancer, and from the beginning, the two have shown great care to our situation. From sitting down for the initial conversation, to having to make that call in the middle of the night, to the funeral service and up to the burial, we felt we were in good hands. Although I hope I do not have to step foot in that building for quite some time (sorry Joe), I would 100% seek their services again. God bless and thank you for your words, support, and just blessings. The day we met I actually had gotten the wrong place but now I understand it was God who knew that this would be the business to help and support me at my and my family lowest. If anyone is ever weary or simply unsure rest assure that Sheenan Funeral Home is the best place to go to.“

“The Family & Staff of Dangler Funeral Home (Morris Plains) went above and beyond to help my family. They treated us with the utmost respect and did a beautiful job with my Mom. Thank you Dangler Funeral Home. Highly recommend to anyone who has had a loss.“

“Somerset Hills handled my husband's cremation. He is not interred there, but on two separate occasions they have graciously helped me, both with placing his ashes in an urn I had purchased, and then later with re-opening the urn to place some small mementos inside it. The entire staff there is wonderful and very accommodating. There was no charge for either of the additional services they provided to me, and their hours of operation are extremely convenient. I highly recommend Somerset Hills Memorial Park & Chapel Mausoleum.“

“We used the Bruce Van Arsdale Funeral Home in 2015 for my mother and last week for my father. I highly recommend this business. Burying a parent is quite stressful and Bruce and his team were wonderful in eliminating, mitigating or disguising the many potential sources of stress during the process. Bruce was a compassionate voice in leading our family in the funeral arrangements from when he was first notified of my father’s passing through to my father’s burial. Bruce’s many relationships in the area were key to solving a problem we had with getting a Priest for the Funeral Mass as well as getting Police assistance in Raritan and with the State Police during the Funeral procession. While burying a loved one is something no one wants to deal with, Bruce and his team will assure that your loved one gets a good send off and the family does not endure any additional hardships during the funeral process.“

“Thank you Frank and the staff for organizing my brother’s funeral. They were very thorough and professional, and helped us through this time. We appreciate everything from start to finish.“

“We have no words to adequately thank Higgins Funeral Home. They guided us through every step of the funeral process for my dad with clarity and care, making a difficult time feel a little more manageable.
Mr. Steve, with genuine compassion, supported our family during this crucial moment—attending to every detail with patience and thoughtfulness, and ensuring that everything was handled with dignity. His kindness and professionalism meant more to us than we can express.

The people at Bailey took a difficult time for us and helped us make it a celebration of our loved one‘s life.

Thank you.“
