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.“

“Dear Kye, Ryan and the entire team at Buckland Funeral Home, thank you for your patience, professionalism and compassion as we planned services for our dear mom, Patsy.

Your guidance and attention to detail meant so much to us. Even through our grief, we were able to share moments of laughter which brought us comfort and a peace of mind.

We are forever grateful for the exceptional care and respect you showed our family.

Sincerely,
The Nixon and Askew families“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Although we ultimately chose a different funeral home, Joel was kind, comforting, and helpful during our consultation. He took the time to answer our questions and made us feel supported during a very difficult moment. The funeral home itself is warm, beautiful, and impeccably maintained. We truly appreciated the care and professionalism shown to our family.“

“23 years after our father’s cremation, I showed up asking for guidance on how to open the marble box and divide his cremains for each of us, his children. John went above and beyond. I showed up for guidance and instead was relieved of all of the work and pressure to complete the task. John called me two days later and thought of every single detail I wouldn’t have even known to consider. All with such empathy and compassion! I’m so beyond grateful. No one wants to need funeral service but the reality is that we all eventually do. Your loved ones are in the best hands possible if you choose John and Fucillo & Warren.“

“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.“

“They have served generations of our family with the utmost dignity and respect. Human touch from people who care. Highly recommend this establishment for anyone in need.“

“Adam and the team at Kulinski Memorials was outstanding during one of the most difficult periods our family has faced, their kindness, attention to detail, and dedication helped us design a one-of-a-kind tribute for our grandmother, and Adam took the time to answer every question, guide us through the process, and make sure the final memorial reflected the love and respect.“

“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 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.“
