3 Best Funeral Homes in Newark, NJ

I wish to thank Ms. Saira Soto for the exceptional kindness and assistance she provided with my friend's brother who passed away in New Jersey. His body was sent to Washington, DC for the funeral service and transit home to Mexico. The Washington funeral home had difficulty with paperwork and could not work out the problems for three months. (Very upsetting to his family and friends!) Ms. Soto came to our rescue, straightened out the paperwork, and intervened with the Mexican Consulate. Thanks to her work, he is now home. May God bless you Ms. Soto and Villa Americas for your compassion.

My family is so grateful to the ladies at Villa Americas Funeral Home. They helped us so much with the passing of our father Pablo Ramos 4 years ago, we knew when our mom Evangelista Mendez passed suddenly, we had a place we trusted. They treated us with care and more importantly our loved ones with respect. You help make such a hard moment a bit easier with how much you help with the final agreements. Thank you ladies for you important work.

In name of my family and I, we want to said Thank you Villa Americas Funeral Home for all the accompaniment to my family in this difficult moment.

Very punctual and organized administration. We recommend their professional service. Thank you Villa Americas Funeral Home.

Carolyn and the Whigham family truly extended their all to my family (especially given the circumstance). Not only did they welcome us into their family with open arms, but they also showed their passion, professionalism, dedication, compassion, and experience in the field. It was a true balance of the formalities. They literally had a solution and the right words for every problem or concern. Anything that was needed was handled with urgency and accuracy. The facility is up kept and the workers are on point. It is a true blessing to witness and be a part of true perfection. My mother could not have asked for anything more perfect and beautiful. Carolyn is hands-on and definitely leads by example; no wonder why everyone is so great there. I cannot thank the Whigham family enough for sending my mother, Shawn Pierce, home in the most extraordinary way.

Whigham Funeral Home in NJ, hands-down the most professional, welcoming, caring, consumer friendly and excellent deliverer of information and education on the funeral home selection process generally with clarity about their specific offerings. Special thanks to Terry who took the time and patience to sit with me, my nephew and niece (our first time going through this process) to educate and inform us of this process including answering our numerous questions with warmth, grace, patience, understanding and imparting exceptional need-to-know information. Whigham is my Number One Funeral Home.

I never saw a home going so classy, and fancy. He had a horse-drawn carriage and his name etched on the carriage. They did my cousin so good, he was such a classy man and they did him justice. I loved his funeral and I’m so glad these people handled his body.
