Funeral Services & Cemeteries near Ridgewood

“Time ... Patience ... Sincerity ... Commitment ...
I am fortunate to have had the assistance of the professional staff at Memorial Arts of Ridgewood. Their guidance over an extended period of time enabled my family and I to create a very special monument for our parents that will speak to each one of us in a special way, for the rest of our lives. The finished product far exceeded our expectations, and our goal could not have been achieved without those four attributes mentioned above.
I highly recommend the quality and service this company has to offer - at that difficult time in your life when you really need it.“

“My family and I just experienced the loss of my father. As you can imagine, we were flooded with sorrow and emotions. The staff at Feeney Funeral Home were supportive from the first moment they picked up my initial phone call. I was fortunate enough to speak with and work with a number of their staff members, but I was able to really get supportive personal care during meetings with both Michele and Kerry. If God forbid you should experience a loss in your family, I 1000% recommend Feeney Funeral Home for all of your services needs.“

“We have used Vander Plaat Memorial Home in the past, or I should say my family has. So when my mother had passed I figured this is the place I would reach out to.

From the opening conversation with them until the actual burial they were extremely curtious and sympathetic to our needs, they even had my father's info on file making my mothers one request of the same casket possible.

I cannot say enough good things about Connor and his team. They have even reached out a couple of weeks after just to check in. I would highly recommend Vander Plaat.“

“We cannot thank Michael and his entire team enough for everything they did for our family during one of the hardest moments of our lives. From the very beginning, they guided us through every step of the funeral process with compassion, professionalism, and genuine care.

They took care of every detail, including arranging the church Mass, coordinating for a priest to come to the funeral home to pray with our family, helping us with cemetery information, and making sure all of the necessary paperwork was completed. We never had to worry about anything because they handled it all with such kindness and respect.

At the end of the services, they even gathered all of the flowers for us, which was one less thing for our grieving family to think about. Their attention to detail and support meant more than words can express.

Thank you, Michael and your amazing team, for honoring my dad with such dignity and for making this incredibly difficult time a little easier for our family. We will always be grateful for your compassion, dedication, and exceptional service.“

“I can't begin to say enough about Becker Funeral Home.
We used Becker back in March of 2004 for my Dad, and again recently for our mother this past June.

Tom Polito, Marty Seitz, and staff all made it possible for us to grieve our mother's passing because of their compassion & attention to detail carrying out our moms wishes.

I can't begin to thank you enough for the support & love you gave to our mother and family during this very sad moment in our lives.

We've always had and will continue to use Becker Funeral Home as we highly recommend their services to anyone in need.

Thanks again Tom & Marty, your the best!

Family of Kathleen Holmes ❤“

“The Bizub family are the absolute best at what they do. When my father recently passed, Tim and Ed were absolutely incredible and helped my Mom and I give my father the wake and funeral he so deserved. They are professional, extremely thorough and most important, compassionate in an understandably challenging time. I am grateful that they were able to help us, especially since my father was coming in from a different state and truly made our lives easier. Will see them again.“

“My family worked with Shook's for my grandmother's funeral and everything was perfect. They helped us navigate the entire process with ease and dignity. They were responsive and kind throughout. They had also done my grandfather's funeral in 1994 and still had his info on file which was helpful. I would recommend Shooks to anyone.“

“The professionalism and compassion that they showed my family, and I at the loss of my wife and mother of my children, was blessing in our time of pain. Everyone there went out of their way to help us, answer any questions, and anticipate any of are needs. Still, to this day, four months later, they are helping us with the headstone purchase. Myself and my family would highly recommend them to help you as they helped us.“

“During one of the most difficult times of our lives, the team at Shook Funeral Home provided care and compassion that truly exceeded our expectations. Words cannot fully express how grateful our family is for the dignity, professionalism, and genuine kindness they showed while honoring my father.

Every detail was handled with thoughtfulness and respect. They guided us through each step with patience and understanding, making an overwhelming process feel manageable and personal. It was clear that they were not simply doing a job — they were helping us celebrate a life that meant everything to us.

We will always be thankful for the comfort and support they provided. I highly recommend Shook Funeral Home to any family in need of compassionate and professional service.“

“We are very satisfied with the service provided by Edwards Funeral Chapel. This was the first death in our family, and we had no idea how to handle everything. Jack, the Funeral Director explained the entire process to us with great patience and assisted us with all the arrangements step by step.
Our family is Polish, and he was very understanding and respectful of our traditions and needs. Everything was handled with the highest level of dignity, compassion, and professionalism. During such a difficult time, their support meant more to us than words can express.
The burial was in Pennsylvania, over a 2-hour drive away, and everything was coordinated with the church there smoothly and respectfully. Josh, the driver, was extremely professional and respectful, guiding our family step by step throughout the process and making sure everything went properly.
Compared to some other funeral homes we looked at, their pricing was also very reasonable for such a high-quality level of service and care.
The funeral home itself is also beautifully done inside — very clean, welcoming, and recently renovated, which created a peaceful and comforting atmosphere for our family and guests.

We highly recommend this funeral home to anyone looking for compassionate, respectful, and professional service. We truly cannot thank them enough for making this painful experience a little easier for our family.“

“Donald and AnnMarie did an amazing job helping me and my family navigate a very difficult experience. The loss of a loved one can be hard, but they helped with every step of the way. They were very quick and responsive with helping us get prepared for the viewing and their compassion and empathy were unmatched. Donald was very patient and kind with both of my elderly parents and Annmarie did a wonderful job making my younger sister look absolutely beautiful. Thank you both for helping us through a very painful time.“
