They made the most impossible time in our lives infinitely easier with exactly the right combination of skill, clear communication, compassion, and care. They were professional while also being completely human in our time of need. They catered to the needs of my sister's children with deep patience, grace, and love. I felt a wave of calm and comfort in their hands. They even helped us set up the room for her funeral and brought it to life with their own special touches and wealth of experience. Maryann held me every step of the way trying to coordinate things while I was in terrible pain. She is every good thing and your family will find itself in the most capable hands with Ruby Memorial. Every single person we interacted with there was truly exceptional. I will always think of them as a bright spot in an otherwise incredibly dark moment.

She was very pleasant to work with and very knowledgeable about the process. We flied in to NJ on a Sunday and our father was picked up and ready to go on Monday for us. After the viewing, we talked a little more and learned what to do next. Price was fair and up front. Cash and checks preferred, but they can take credit cards. They also helped us with obtaining certified copies of father's death certificate. Thank you Ruby Memorial for making life easy, especially so close to Thanksgiving during the pandemic. It is highly recommended for your local service.

I was again so impressed with the awesome service that the Fucillo & Warren staff provided, the same as I had experienced 2 years ago at my brother's funeral in December 2022. Again, I saw such expert order & professionalism which I really appreciate at events like these. The staff seems to know what you need before you need it. The staff also makes you feel as comfortable as possible under these circumstances. I was especially impressed with John R. Zalewski, Jr, Funeral Director who did such an exceptional job." Louisa P.

We recently had my grandmothers funeral at this funeral home and they went above and beyond our…read moreexpectations!!

I am posting this so that perhaps cemetery management makes the necessary changes. On 10/26/23 my…read moremother passed away and on 10/30/23 she was laid to rest in the grave that my father was laid to rest back in 1999 at Holy Cross Cemetery. My sister contacted the Cemetery to have Christmas wreaths placed at the grave of our parents and another one at our nephews grave also located at Holy Cross Cemetery. On Saturday 12/23/23 my sister and her daughter when to the cemetery. When they got to the grave of our parents the wreath was place on the decaying flowers that were never cleaned up since my mother was laid to rest two months ago. When they went to the grave of our nephew there was no wreath. The cost to have the cemetery place a wreath is $55.00 / wreath. My sister emailed the cemetery because the office on the cemetery grounds was closed on Saturday 12/23/23. Naturally, there was no response on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day but, you would expect a response on Tuesday 12/26/23. The Cemetery never responded. My sister call the Cemetery and a woman answered. My sister explained that the wreath placed at our parents grave was laid on top of dead flowers. She told my sister that they only clean twice a year and because my mother passed at the end of October the next cleaning is May. She also explained to my sister that the family should clean the dead flowers between cemetery cleanups. Then my sister explained that there was no wreath placed at our nephews grave. My sister was told that that was an oversight and they would refund $55.00. My questions: 1- If no one went to the Cemetery how would you know that the wreath you paid for wasn't provided? 2- If the family is responsible to clean up the grave sites between cemetery biannual cleanups, what's stopping me from raking the debris off my loved ones grave an onto someone else's grave? What's stopping me from placing the debris in a bag and taking it to the cemetery management office so they can store the debris until they do their biannual cleanup? 3- Why does the cemetery police have time to remove items from grave sites that they feel aren't appropriate? The cemetery police have time to remove Items like ballon's, teddy bear, etc. from grave sites but, they don't have time to clean dead flowers? I included a picture of the $55,00 wreath that the cemetery placed at our parents grave just so you can see what Holy Cross Cemetery feels is acceptable.

My grandparents are buried here. I didn't know them very well. I maybe spoke to them a handful of…read moretimes as a child even though they lived nearby. They were super old and senile. The funerals were nice. But I didn't feel any grief. Their house in East Brunswick was sold. Maybe demolished. These people are gone from the Earth without a trace. I'll let you in on a secret: I fear death, and the deaths of those I love. Death is the ultimate tragedy... a life of suffering is tough, but in most cases we can make things better. Death you can't fix. I won't romanticize death or martyrdom and drape them in metaphor. Death is real, it's brutal, it's tragic. You should be sad -- you should be afraid.

The main contact person throughout the funeral process was rude, inconsiderate, and unprofessional…read more She never once offered condolences to me, even during our first phone call when my loved one had just passed away. She consistently referred to my aunt as "the body." I made a miscount as to how many pall bearers had arrived and she made a mocking comment about me to her co-worker. "I guess we forgot how to count!" She is seemingly unfit for this profession. In addition, I was charged $125 for a wooden cross and thank you notes that I never asked, for nor do I want. I was also charged $125.00for gratuities. Again, I was never informed of this until I received a bill. In addition to the $300 fee for 'Dressing, casketing and cosmetology' I was charged $75 for a hairdresser. What a terrible way to take advantage of people at their weakest moments.
