First of all, I am writing this review because there are two people who wrote horrible things (Georgette S and G.K) about this funeral home. They both are related to one another. Georgette S is the oldest daughter out of 7 siblings who is related to my mother. G.K is the niece to both my mother and Georgette S. Georgette S and G.K both do not even live in NJ. They both did not deal with Bill or his business personally whatsoever. Georgette S is saying she's been dealing with problems with him since 8/4/16 but she has not. That is the anniversary of my grandmothers death. She hasn't spoke to her own mother who is my grandmother in over 30 years, up until last year in 2016 when she heard my grandma was not doing so good with her health. My mother welcomed Georgette S into her home after all this time even after knowing how my grandmother felt about her (not even considering her a daughter) but felt it was the right thing to do. I am 25 years old and for the first time I met Georgette S back in 2016. She used my mom to get even with her other siblings as she would say to all of us in my home. Pathetic. All of a sudden a few months later after my grandmothers death she stops speaking to my mother and then this stuff starts occurring. Georgette S is the one who is actually shady and horrible for writing this. This business owner was fantastic and did everything amazing for my grandmother and she would of been happy with the outcome. Georgette S does not need the death certificate, her niece G.K who hasn't even seen her grandmother in approximately 20 years is asking for it.. Why? She did not even attend her own grandmothers funeral and is going out of her way to retrieve it. G.K had called continuously harassing both my family and this funeral homes business. Please anybody who is reading these reviews disregard the two negative reviews for they both are trying to scare and ruin this business for no reason. Bill has nothing to do with giving out my grandmothers death certificate. He is doing his job. This is family drama and it's horrible that people need to try and ruin someone's business. read more

Two days ago, my husband's Memorial Service was held at the Basralian Funeral Home in Oradell, NJ. There is no way to fully express my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Bill Basralian and his Office Administrator, Vanessa Case-Lindsay. They helped me and my family members in every way, -- planning the service, creating the memorial program, assisting with the photo and musical presentation for the website, carefully planning the recording of the livestream video and supervising the very elegant visitation hour, and the parking of cars for over 85 people. I couldn't be more pleased with the care I was given, from the dangerously icy night that Bill himself drove Paul's body from Brookdale Assisted Living to his Funeral Home, to this very morning, when I gather a few flowers from the two beautiful heart-shaped arrangements created by River Dell Flowers in Oradell. Thank you for your kindness and your espertise, Bill and Vanessa, from the bottom of my heart. ~JoAnn Young read more

My wife passed suddenly last weekend leaving our family and myself in total shock and denial. Funeral arrangements was the last thing any of us wanted to do but we knew it was necessary to put my loving wife and my children's loving mom to rest. Basralian funeral home was the first place on a list of places we were going to call. Bill answered the phone and couldn't have been more understanding of what we were going through. He asked us what we were envisioning in the way of services and helped us plan everything from start to finish. He did not try to sell additional services we didn't ask for and his pricing was very fair. After a few minutes on the phone we were convinced this was the right place for us. We were right! Bill and Vanessa were so easy to work and made everything we asked for happen. The viewing room was set up beautifully and access to the building was never a problem. You will be in good hands with Bill and Vanessa read more

This funeral home is so GREAT, Bill and Vanessa walk you through every step of everything that needs to be done from start to finish. They are very upbeat and obviously love what they do. They care and take every step of this process to make it perfect for your loved one . I have known Bill for many years and this man is incredible, warm, compassionate, loving, caring, honest, accommodating, supportive, professional , experienced and most of all a Gentlemen. He makes a difficult time so much easier for you. ( I have to say he would be lost without Vanessa, his right hand person) . Bill has helped us in so many of our families services, I would NEVER think of going anywhere else. Love them both and I can not thank them enough for all they did to make us comfortable through these hard times. Donna S. and Beth Ann W. read more

Bill Basralian was so kind and helpful in guiding our family through the whole process of our mother's wake and funeral arrangements. Our mother had suffered for a long time and the illness had ravaged her beautiful looks. Bill had our mom shine! She was so lovely. His assistant, Vanessa, worked with our family to prepare a truly wonderful digital video tribute using our photos. Many of the guests commented on what a great job it was and also on the background music. Bill and his staff are available and helpful from the very beginning until the very end. Bill had been just as great to our family when our dad died in 2010, so mom knew what she wanted for her own arrangements. Thank you so much, Bill, for making a very difficult time so much easier for Janice, Bob and myself. read more

During a difficult time when dealing with the loss of a loved family member Bill made us all very comfortable. He explainded everything to our satisfaction and fulfilled his promise by tending to every last detail. Both of my parents were waked at Basralian and Bill arranged their funerals personally and perfectly. A few of our freinds and their parents have also been waked at Basralian Funeral Home. They all have said how personal and accommodating Bill is and how well they were treated by Bill and his staff. I always recommend to my friends to go see Bill, if and when that fateful day comes to make arrangements for a departed loved one. I give Basralian Funeral Services 5 Stars. I'd give it 10 if it was an option. read more

Beautiful service that I recently attended. The staff there is incredible, kind, and extremely helpful during h grieving process. Bill not only understand his clientele, but understands his business and run it beautifully. The young lady who works there, Vanessa, is an absolute dream. She is extremely kind and has one of those personalities that when you speak to her you know it will be alright. Everyone there does their job wonderfully and knows what exactly they're doing. Couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly. Truly a wonderful business and it feels homey when you go there. I would recommend to anyone because they really have a grasp on what they're doing. read more

Our family worked with Bill for over a period of six weeks. He helped my sister and I make decisions related to our dad's funeral. He not only assisted us, but cared for our family. Bill kept telling us, 'don't worry about it, I will take care of it'. And.... he did!! Additionally, his staff answered my numerous phone calls and always got back to us with the answers. It is difficult to bury a family member, but Bill and his staff take on the responsibility so that you can spend the time with family. By the way.... Bill has a sense of humor, which honestly, was greatly appreciated. You will not regret using his service. read more

I have to say Bill and Vanessa were wonderful. They were caring to myself as well as my family. They both were extremely helpful in the affairs needed for my Father. They handled everything and kept me in the loop every step of the way. They were patient with my decisions and even said take another day, don't decide now, let me know when your ready. Their facility was beautiful and comfortable. I felt like I was walking into a friends home not a funeral parlor. I would recommend William Basralian Funeral Home to anyone who wants the best care for their loved one and family. Thank you Bill and Vanessa, Don Di Liberto read more

The staff, and the owner (Bill)of this funeral home are very helpful, kind and compassionate. They are very experienced after many years in this business, and they helped our family a lot through this sad time. I have had to use the services of the Basralian Funeral Home twice, and I was so relieved that they took care of everything for me. They made all the service, transportation and cemetery plans for us.They also notified the Army, and my husband had a honorary color guard salute at the cemetery. One family member passed in the hospital, and another in Florida. Reliable, honest and sincere. read more

Bill Basralian is a kind and caring individual ....the perfect personality for the business that he is in. He is both professional and empathetic. He guided us through this very tough process making it easier for us to deal with. My Mom suffered for many years and when she passed her physical being was severely affected. Our plans for a closed viewing were changed when Bill brought back my Mom's beauty and peacefulness....for that we will be eternally grateful. I would highly recommend Basralian Funeral services. Thanks Bill for everything!! Doreen and Family read more

Bill and his staff have to be the most helpful people to go to during the grieving process. His laughter and help during a painful time was needed. The funeral was personalized for our family and everything Bill and his staff did was perfect to memorialize my grandfather. He treats every person who walks through his doors like a friend, and that is definitely needed when someone passes. Thank you Mr. Basralian and Staff for easing the pain during this difficult time read more

Thanks Bill and Vanessa for being so kind and providing such amazing service for my Dad's funeral. No matter what we asked for, you always said yes and tried to help. I have only heard wonderful comments for all who attended and I'm sure it was the kind of service Dad wanted. Personal and homey, but with all the tech we needed. Livestream and video montage was lovely. You guys are the best! Laura, NYC read more

My mother's wake and funeral were beautiful, just like her. read more

Bill and his staff have gone above and beyond for our family in our time of grief. The level of service is outstanding. Bill is kind and compassionate easing our "worries" about arrangements.

Basralian Funeral Home is hands down the most honest and accomodating funeral home in Bergen County. They take all of the stress out of funeral planning. Bill has buried two of my family members.
