We just buried my 95 year old mother who I cared for meticulously for many years. Just thinking of allowing her to be put in the hands of those who serve at a funeral home was scary and upsetting to me because I was very cautious and protective and careful with her health and her safety for many years. Mario and his staff bring to the table a sincerity, a deep compassion and love that is not easily found in this business. The time, patience, and availability made this process a beautiful experience making this our final farewell to Mom perfect in every way. Their attention to the detail that I wanted and  her makeup and presentation, flowers, artistic prayer cards, etc. allowed every Creative Vision I had to come to pass. I didn't have to worry about anything. Every detail I asked for they made sure it was handled.  There was no need to repeat it or have to keep a working list and stay after them. I said it once an they retained it. I am sure that anyone who came and participated in my mother's funeral would say they would be drawn to go to Barquin when dealing with the death of a loved one. The prices were more than fair... every aspect was just perfect not to mention their building is beautiful, new, clean and it's very peaceful to leave your loved one there knowing they're in the hands of people who have heart and care. After hearing some of Mario's own family stories and his love for the elderly and caring for his own, I knew his hands were the ones that I could place my Mom in.. an she would b safe an highly cared for. Don't go anywhere else if you want the Best!  God bless all at Barquin Funeral Home for their Ministry to those who have passed an their families. Angie Rotella-Suarez West New York NJ read more

In August 2017 I went to "Barquin Funeral Home" to solicit their services in connection with the death of my Dad, whose sudden passing after receiving a heart transplant in late April, left us in a terrible state of mind. As my family faced many unexpected challenges dealing with our loss, Mario and his team dealt with everything on our behalf with the utmost professionalism. The beautiful job they did with my dad left me speechless. The slideshow they put together was perfect and everyone watching it and listening to the music selection we made were in a daze remembering the many beautiful moments in my Dad's life, which were fully captured with this video montage. Heartfelt appreciation goes to Mario (the owner and a friend from high-school). He was compassionate, patient, detailed-oriented, gracious, kind, respectful and responsive to our many requests throughout the entire process. My family and friends were not just impressed with all aspects of my Dad's wake and funeral, but also with the very beautiful and new space of the "Barquin Funeral Home". When building this place, they thought of everything to make it family friendly. The beautiful rotunda style seating area outside the chapel is warm and inviting and the space dedicated for the children, which includes a television and separate seating area is just amazing. They also have a small kitchen area to gather around to get coffee or something to eat adjacent to the kids area which is perfect. I can't say enough good things about this family-owned establishment, but I can say that I highly recommend "Barquin Funeral Home" for your loved one's services during a very difficult time. read more

Talk about the most amazing services around to accommodate your beloved one with exceptional care. I have never gone through this process of funeral arrangements and Mario Barquin, the owner, had made this experience for my family and I as seamless as possible. From the decor to picking out the cards to checking up on us to make sure we were ok during the viewing... No amount of words will ever be able to describe the experience. The room where the viewing took place was spacious and modern. The lounge area had more than enough space and then some. We requested the pallbearer to wear white gloves and they did. We had a slideshow of pictures with my mother and the family that was playing on the TV. The viewing was tasteful and exactly what my mother would've loved. Anytime I had a question, I would contact him and he was always ready and available to answer anything I needed answers to. Thank you so much Mario for what you've done for not only me but for my family! I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for excellent service and quality of care for a beloved one. read more

I lost a very good friend, he was like a father to me, I was like a son to him. He entrusted his funeral arrangements on me. I knew it was a great responsibility. I wanted to do the best for him, a common friend referred me to Mr. Mario Barquin, funeral director of Barquin Funeral Home. From the first encounter with Mr. Barquin thru the last moment of the viewing and cremation process of my friend's remains, I received the most courteous, professional and above all caring service from Mr. Barquin. His compassion and understanding was beyond of what I expected. I am eternally grateful to him for all he did for my friend and us. I know that when a loved one is lost there is great sorrow and pain however I know that Mario Barquin will do the best to ensure that the pain is mitigated as much as possible. I recommend without any doubts the services from Barquin Funeral Home. Mario... once again thank you for all you did for my friend and us. God bless you today and always read more

My husband and I pre-planned the funeral services for both of my parents with Mario Barquin about two years ago. This last Father's Day, my father passed away at midnight at home. Even though Mario was away at the time and we live 2 hours away from Guttenberg, his crew was there for us as soon as we called. Every detailed we had discussed two years before was done courteously and professionally throughout the next 5 days. But it was more than that which I wanted to express. The personal care Mario and his team took with my father was extraordinary in many ways. From the way he looked, to the amazing slide show they created which had over 200 slides and movies, and of course, the brand new facilities where it felt clean (and there was even valet parking). Thank you again for all of your efforts. Truly recommend Mario and all his team. read more

I would like to thank Barquin Funeral Home for a great job with us putting our mom to rest in style. Mario and his did a great job from the first time we met to the very last moment at the cemetery. Everyone was so patient and understanding- Besty, Jay, Luis and others were perfect in every way. When we saw our mother it looked just like her with getting back 10 years of her life, just to see her st her best. You know how to cater, kids room, kitchen and plenty of space for everyone, plus roofed parking. My entire family and friends were also very pleased with the service. When it's a choice and family decisions are tough to make Barquin will easy the pain and assist with any matters to be handled. Again, Mario- Thank you!!! From The Rezabala Family read more

My family and I want to thank Mario Barquin and his staff from the bottom of our hearts. Mario was there every step of the way in this hard process six months ago when we had the service for my late husband. Mario was there every step of the way. Any questions we had he answered them right away. His facility is new and beautiful. It's a great place to celebrate and honor the lives of our loved ones that passed on. Definitely not the typical gloomy funeral home. I can't praise Mario and his staff enough. They went above and beyond for my family. It was truly a blessing to find you! read more
