Funeral Services & Cemeteries near Iselin

“I recently visited Alpine Cemetery in Perth Amboy, NJ, and it left a lasting impression on me. This cemetery, which has been around since the 1920s, is beautifully maintained. The grounds are clean, peaceful, and full of quiet reflection.

I came as a stranger, hoping to find the grave of my best friend who rests there. The kindness and dedication I received from the staff went far beyond what I expected. Marie in the office and Troy, the groundskeeper, personally helped me locate his resting place and made me feel cared for during the entire visit.

Being able to stand there in the calm and serenity of Alpine Cemetery gave me a moment with my friend that I will always carry in my heart. It was quiet, peaceful, and deeply meaningful.

Although I was not involved in any burial planning or arrangements, the compassion and professionalism of the staff alone would make me recommend Alpine Cemetery to anyone seeking a resting place for their loved ones.

I will certainly return to visit my friend again. I’ve promised myself that each time I do, I’ll stop by to see Marie and the team to say thank you for all they’ve done.

PS - I see all the one star reviews mainly about the cemetery removing things people made or left for their loved ones and want to tell them…find a cemetery that DOESN’T have the same policy. ALL of the ones I have ever been in, including the one with my 12 person family plot, does the same thing. Do you expect them to leave everything there, and then complain about the site being over grown? Face reality people as the workers at Alpine are just trying to maintain and keep the grounds as manicured as possible and that’s is not uncommon or odd for a cemetery to do, versus your outlandish expectations which are not realistic.“

“The staff at Carmen F. Spezzi Funeral Home is exceptionally kind, caring, compassionate and professional.

This family-run business is first-class all the way and I would highly recommend them.“

“Joe and his crew are the EPITOME of service. The attention to detail , the service , the compassion , the empathy, understanding , and process simplified was amazing.

He made the entire process seamless for my father in law.

I cannot praise enough.“

“Ryan at Fanwood Memorial Funeral Home provided exceptional care and support during one of the most difficult times in our family’s life following the passing of my father.
From our very first interaction, Ryan was responsive, courteous, compassionate, and genuinely empathetic. He guided us through every step of the process with patience and professionalism, answering questions promptly and helping us navigate details that can feel overwhelming during a time of grief. Chris, who assisted throughout the services, was also professional, caring, and supportive.
What stood out most was the kindness and respect Ryan and Chris showed not only to my father, but to our entire family. Their caring approach gave us comfort and peace of mind when we needed it most.
I am deeply grateful for the support they provided and would highly recommend Fanwood Memorial Funeral Home to any family seeking compassionate and professional funeral services.“

“The passing of a loved one is a very difficult time for families and Esteban and team from Las Rosas Bannworth Funeral Home did everything possible to make it a comforting experience. My mom and I felt very supported and cared for as we made final arrangements for my dad. All the steps in the process were clearly explained and executed flawlessly by the team. It's a tumultuous time where decisions need to be made quickly and Esteban made sure we had the information and support we needed to keep the process moving. The communication was exceptional (readily available and instant responses) and we were treated with tremendous compassion. The obituary was beautifully written after just a brief conversation and reflected the essence of our loved one. The pricing was fair and transparent. We were truly appreciative of how well the services were delivered and most importantly how we were treated. Impeccable business. Thank you so much.“

“So all three of my family members have had their services with McCracken and each time was the same nothing short of perfect. Matthew and Jennifer are exceptional. They were comforting and accommodating and most of all caring. Jennifer went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect for my grandmother. She was so thoughtful and professional. I truly can say this staff puts their best foot forward every time to make such a difficult process so much easier.“

“Although this review is long overdue, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to Greg and the entire Novak staff for the exceptional care they provided during our father’s services. From start to finish, the professionalism demonstrated by Gustav J. Novak Funeral Home in Perth Amboy was truly outstanding.

As this was my first time making funeral arrangements, Greg was incredibly supportive and attentive throughout the entire process. He guided me step by step—from providing a clear and helpful checklist to ensure all burial arrangements were completed in advance, to thoroughly explaining the details of both the funeral and church services. His patience and compassion made a very difficult time much more manageable.

The staff was courteous, respectful, and attentive in every aspect, and our experience was seamless. I would highly recommend Gustav J. Novak Funeral Home to anyone in need of funeral arrangements for a loved one.

Thank you again to Greg and the Novak staff for your professionalism and care.

Sincerely,
The Patino Family“

“I’d like to personally speak on this, as I was the one who made the initial call when my aunt passed and handled the arrangements from the very beginning. From even before everything was finalized, Kim showed nothing but compassion, patience, and professionalism. She guided us through every step and was a steady support during an incredibly difficult time for our family.
While not everyone involved was directly part of the process or fully informed, we can say with certainty that everything was handled appropriately and with care. We are truly grateful to Kim for everything she has done for us.“

“Having to work out the services arrangements for a funeral given the circumstances is a horrible thing to be doing but Dan made this a very supportive experience. He was very informative and transparent in the process.

I had to go through the arrangements last month and it was very difficult but this location was very convenient, the services were financially friendly, and the entire process was seamless. Dan is very accommodating to whatever you need to help you through this time.

There is also a room on the side which was very helpful for people to be in and out of - it was peaceful as the entire place is to yourself so it feels more intimate during such a horrible grieving process. Thanks to Dan and his team it was a little easier.“

“When my mother died suddenly, Raritan Bay Funeral Service helped us arrange her cremation and viewing swiftly and efficiently. The funeral director, Matt, was absolutely outstanding. His knowledge and warmth was extremely comforting during this extremely difficult time. We also appreciated how attentive and communicative he was throughout the whole experience. Our Family will certainly trust Raritan Bay again forfuture arrangements and will continue to encourage others to do the same for their loved ones. 11/10.“

“Our family used Bradley, Haeberle & Barth Funeral Home in Union 21 years ago for dad's funeral services. This year, we used them again for our Mom's funeral. She was 98. Erica and the entire staff always hit just the right notes of compassion, empathy and understanding while handling our needs and questions with professionalism. We were constantly surprised with the extras that were offered to make our time of mourning easier. Especially want to comment on the quality of our Tribute Video to Mom - everyone who sees it tells us it's the best Tribute Video they've ever seen, and we agree! It's a memento that will continue to give us comfort whenever we review it through the years.“

“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.“

“Thank you Rossi Funeral Home, but especially Bill, for making this part of the process of death a little bit easier. Bill, the funeral director, was incredibly kind, compassionate, and professional throughout the entire process. He guided us through every step with patience and care, making a very difficult time a bit easier to manage. His attention to detail and genuine empathy meant so much to our family. We are deeply grateful for all that he and the rest of Rossi Funeral Home did for us.“

“From the very beginning, Joe answered my call on a Saturday night and immediately understood the urgency and sensitivity of our situation. He provided guidance and support as we worked through the process of moving my grandmother from a grave in Queens to New Jersey, which is still ongoing with their support.

Joe, Jimmy, and the entire team also helped my family and me arrange the funeral services for my dad, handling everything from A to Z with compassion and professionalism. When my dad passed at home, they were incredibly thoughtful and gave us the time we needed for my sister to return home and say her goodbye. From that moment on, Jimmy guided us through every step with patience and care.

From the cemetery arrangements to the funeral home, the morning mass, and the burial, Jimmy was present for all of it. Knowing he was there made an incredibly difficult time feel more manageable.

Everything was handled with grace, sympathy, and respect. I truly cannot say enough good things about this team. Looking back, the only thing I might have arranged differently would have been a police escort, as we had more cars than expected—but that does not take away from the exceptional care we received.“

“Losing a loved one is never easy, but working with Will and his team at Pettit Davis Funeral Home is comforting, seamless, and at a reasonable cost.

I’ve known the Davis family for over forty years and trusted them with the care of our family members who have passed on.

The kindness and empathy Will and his team provide are essential when managing the loss of a loved one.

Thank you for your sincere and compassionate service.“

“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.“

“The process was not easy for me as I'm sure is the case for many patrons. There was a lot to learn regarding the process. There was some frustration, however, patience and kindness outweighed it all and the finished layout was well worth the wait and brought closure. My family and I are pleased with the finished inscription services. Laly and Andrew our heartfelt thanks for your service during this most difficult time.“
