During this current health crisis, we are here to answer your questions and help limit your exposure, and most funeral arrangements can be made over the phone by calling us at 201-939-1050 . Additionally, family and friends are always encouraged to post condolences to comfort families. With many restrictions no longer in place, we are offering families the suggestion of a “Celebration of Life” service to be opened to friends and relatives. It can be followed by a Mass or Religious Service, if so desired. We are all experiencing changes in our lives & we are all worried or even scared. If you are faced with a loss in your family, there are changes you are not accustomed to and we will answer any questions you might have. We will always serve you with the same quality of services and respect you deserve. God bless our first responders & healthcare workers. We wish you all the best of health during this unprecedented time. You & your families remain in our daily prayers. Stay safe and healthy. Angelo and Debra

This would have been our 9th year to have our Remembrance ceremony for those who passed away this year. It’s a time when our funeral home is usually filled with families remembering and celebrating the life of their loved one with us. At the ceremony, we would show a video with beautiful live music, lunch and more. We would give each personalized ornaments and receive special and very personal ornaments to place on our tree each year. This year, as with so many changes we’ve been going through, we weren’t able to have our ceremony, nor did we have a tree. But as we promised, we found a way to honor those by displaying their special ornaments we’ve come to love. And we also still created the remembrance video which you can view below:
