Funeral Services And Cemeteries near Manasquan

“My family had an excellent experience with a direct cremation here. I live in CA and was trying to do as much as I could remotely before coming back NJ, so there was a lot of googling and weeding through weird internet cremation pages and AI answering services from other funeral homes, then I landed here.

I had called prior to my father’s passing and spoke with Dave, who was very nice and gave me all the information I would need once we were ready to start making decisions. Their transport guys were very respectful and super strong (my dad was a 6’4” giant!). Zack was very communicative during the process, and we were able to pick up my dad’s cremains a few days later.

There were many urn options to choose from, and we picked a main urn, plus a couple ancillary vessels. Zack was super patient as we looked at literally every option there and never tried to upsell us on anything. Zack walked us through everything we needed to know, guided us through all the paperwork, offered us future guidance if we need it, and sent us on our way.

They made the best of a not-so-great time for my family, and I’m so grateful that we chose them.“

He not only made the process as seamless and easy as possible, he went above and beyond and was extremely compassionate and caring, making us feel like we truly mattered. Thank you so much Kevin, we are truly grateful for your kindness.“

“In August 2025, my husband Ron passed away. Having lived in Tinton Falls just a few years, I hadn’t a clue which funeral home to use. I searched the internet and the first one I saw was Bongarzone. I made an appmt with Kellie, the Funeral Director, and my family was so happy I made this decision. Kellie was heartfelt, kind and always available when my family needed her. She always over extended herself and took care of all our concerns. Bongarzone, in of itself, is a lovely funeral home with only one funeral at a time. It’s cozy and offered 2 rooms: one for the wake and one for a meet and greet. My family couldn’t have been more at peace with my decision. Thank you again, Kellie, for holding our hands through this sad and mournful time. It was an honor to work with you.
Karen and family.“
