Funeral Services And Cemeteries near Raritan

“Patrick T. Mastice, Sr. recently passed away on July 10, 2021. My friend and longtime family association Ms. Anna Louise Bongiovi delivered a first class experience to my father's burial arrangements. Ms. Anna Louise is the best in this business because first and foremost she really cares about people, her business etiquette and making sure our loved ones and families are always comforted. Ms. Antonietta Cuoco was also helpful in my fathers funeral arrangements and Ms. Sandy the secretary is lovely and professional. My father had over two-hundred and fifty visitors at the viewing. My dad looked so peaceful and he looked like himself which was important to me. My mother, siblings, family members and friends all said the same thing. I have been friends with Ms. Bongiovi for over fifty years. She is loyal, funny, compassionate and understands this business up, down, left and right. She does all the cosmetology and hair services and is truly an artist when preparing loves ones for interment. Everything from the beautiful viewing, to a lovely and professional funeral and the first class repast reception at The Raritan Valley Country Club was all done in paramount fashion for my father. I'm so grateful we had Bongiovi Funeral Home to help us all through this sad and difficult time. Thank you again Ms. Bongiovi. We love you and appreciate everything you did for all of us. My god bless you. Kind regards,Mr. Patrick T. Mastice, Jr.“

“From one professional to another, thank you so very much for extending your time and courtesy to me. Your referral for a great local florist was very important since I was not in attendance. You and your staff were extremely accommodating to my family & friend Miss Kathy. Although you were on a schedule with the cemetery, your firm took the time for Miss Kathy to spend her final moments with her beloved Andy. (even though they were late from the airport). Again, my sincerest appreciation as a fellow Funeral Director both personally and professionally.“

“As with life, we experienced the burial process of a beloved family member which has been a very emotional time for our family. With that said, we as a family, were very appreciative of Kye Buckland and staff that over extended themselves during our difficult time.
They were professional, sensitive and courteous. They were very accommodating with changes, some at the last minute, suggesting ideas, transparency with pricing and understanding the emotional impact on families. We felt they were an all-inclusive service for everything we needed to bury our beloved family member.

We would highly recommend Buckland Funeral Services and staff. Thank you Kye.“

“My mom passed in 2022 and I immediately thought to go to Lauren for my mom’s arrangements. She was so incredibly helpful in guiding my sister and I through everything we needed to do in our time of grief to make sure my mom’s service and burial went smoothly. The entire staff went above and beyond (Lauren, Amanda, Kyle, Helen and Herc - to name a few). Their compassion helped make everything a little easier and I am so grateful for their devotion to their careers. It’s clear that Lauren and the team care deeply about their roles in funeral services and I couldn’t have been in better hands.

Thank you Lauren, Amanda, and Kyle. When I think of my mom’s service- you all brought warmth and kindness. Not only did you do a wonderful job bringing me peace, but you also made sure that the service felt so personal and full of my mom’s spirit. I will forever be grateful for you and the team - it has made a lifelong impacts on me. ?“

“I attended a viewing here for Mr. Caruso on 6/20. It was my first time attending an event at this funeral home. Susan was there to attend to the family and friends. She was professional, friendly and showed a great deal of care and compassion. As we all know, wakes and funerals are a difficult time for all, I could tell how respectful the staff were here, surely, making a tremendously sad time more bearable for all.“

“We were very happy with the service we received from Barbara and the rest of the staff. We recently brought our aunt’s ashes home from Chicago to New Jersey to be buried next to her late husband. Everything we discussed with Barbara over the phone was done exactly as requested. When we arrived at the cemetery for the burial service we were met by a very nice young gentleman that escorted us to the site and made sure everyone that wanted a chair had one. Barbara has since followed up and even sent pics of the recently installed grave stone. Highly recommended!“

“We reached out to Fucillo & Warren after my mom passed from a very brief illness. They called us immediately to set up a time so that we could discuss my mom’s final arrangements. They were very patient and compassionate with me as I was overcome with grief. My mother didn’t want an elaborate service but they did provide for us a very lovely graveside service so that we had a chance to say our goodbyes. John Sr and Karen helped make this very sad time peaceful for my brother and I. They were very informative and answered all our questions with compassion. Thank you.“

“Obviously a very sad time when at a funeral home but I found the proprietors to be very nice and comforting to everyone present for the service. Very clean and updated.“

“Rich is very easy to work with he knows was he is doing for me was also important that he respond to emails very quickly. I am very pleased how my dad's monument turned out.“

“We love George! Absolutely fantastic to work with! We've worked with this father-son duo for years, and years to come! They know our property well, they are efficient, friendly, and are amazing to work with. Our members appreciate them as well.“

“When my dad passed away in July, I was in search of a funeral home to assist in my time of need and to pick up my father’s body from the nursing home. Plinton Curry had responded quickly and was able to take his body to their funeral home. They helped my family and I by taking special care of my dad until the service. They did an excellent job arranging the funeral service, prepared his body perfectly in the casket that he looked so natural you would think my loved one was alive and sleeping peacefully.

I am grateful for all that the staff have done for us. I would highly recommend them.

Thank you, Mr. Curry and to your staff.“

“Bruce and everyone at Bruce Van Arsdale's went above and beyond to ensure a beautiful viewing, mass and experience for our grandmother. In addition to him being so kind, and understanding of every situation encountered through the process, he and his daughter set up a room for our young children to have away from the services to relax, read, play and eat. It made it easier on us as parents, and gave the place a kids to decompress. My family had a long drive in and having this space for the kids (and for me and our families) made a huge difference.
He kept us informed every step of the way and made a very difficult experience much easier to handle. His recommendations for the bereavement luncheon, the flowers and everything else were spot on. I would recommend anyone in and out of town to use them for their loved ones services.“

“Unbelievable experience!! I had to bury my sister a couple years ago and then my cousin/brother. Everyone who was here worked with us and guided us in the right direction. Comforted us as much as they can. These times are the roughest times of anyone’s lives and they made our experience as best as they can. Thanks so much everything turned out great!“

“It feels sort of weird, to leave a review for a Funeral Home, but I felt it was important to share how amazing the Branchburg Funeral Home has been to my family and me. From the moment we first called them, they treated us like family. They waited late for us on a Friday night to come in and introduce ourselves and let them know of our father‘s passing. Every step of the way was met with compassion, heart, and kindness. They helped us feel relaxed, never rushed us in any step and were very supportive as we worked through a very difficult time in our lives. It’s so important to find real people with compassionate hearts when dealing with such tragedy. My family and I are truly grateful for the Branchburg Funeral Home and although we don’t “look forward” to using their services, we are certainly grateful for them and would highly recommend them to anyone. Shout out to Jayson and Brittany for their professionalism, kindness and support. Thank you so much for everything.“
