I am truly grateful. Thank you.”

“Zale Funeral home is the most squared away full service funeral home that I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with. The person who assisted my family was Amanda Fenard. Amanda exudes compassion, as well as everyone employee of Zale. It’s not an easy task for anyone who loses a loved one to sit down the next day and try to put together the logistics of an entire funeral. Amanda was able to explain the entire process effectively while exhibiting possibly the most soothing voice in all of South Jersey. The kindness, compassion and patience of Zale was also well observed on the night of the viewing. It appeared as though everyone my mother had touched one way or another had made the journey to attend. Needless to say, this extended the night for all of the Zale employees assisting. my family and they all did so with a warm smile. Zale funeral home, went above and beyond my expectations. Thank you.”

“Zale's Funeral Home provided an excellent service for my fathers funeral. Everything from the way my father was presented for the viewing, to the closing prayer at the cemetery, went off flawlessly. The staff is friendly and courteous. Sean Zale took the time to answer my questions and provided me with various options available for the service. I never felt rushed. He really took the time to get to know me a little with some small talk along the way. That helped put me at ease instead of just thinking about the heartache of my dad's passing. It's nice that the Zale family is still running the funeral home. I have gone to many services there over the years. They keep the 1st class tradition going that Eugene Zale started in the beginning.”
