Silverton Memorial Funeral Home

“The Silverton Funeral Home is an excellent provider of services and compassion. The personnel are vested in assuring grieving families consolation and assistance at a time when emotions and sadness are highest. The funeral director is extremely pleasant and efficient in assuring the clients are well supported and cared for. The supporting personnel are very helpful and kind also. I would recommend this organization to any friends or relatives. The professionalism and compassion is very evident from first contact throughout a trying time and process.”

“The services themselves were fine - but the funeral home itself has been bought out by a larger funeral home group based in North Jersey. The planning process was easy and frankly painless - obituary, mass cards, casket, and services were convenient to plan and we honestly had everything taken care of, planning-wise, within an hour. The staff at Silverton are kind - they accommodated as necessary, helped resolve quick issues (though the issue was odd - the package we paid for included limo service, and we confirmed where the limo would pick us up, and yet they did not have a limo ready for the day of the funeral). However, the business practices are not well-intended, especially for Ocean County. For one, during the funeral, the funeral director mentioned the name of the funeral home group multiple times, as though advertising it, during a funeral service. Because I wasn't sure if my grief was addling my perceptions, I waited to see if some guests at the services would mention it - lo and behold, multiple family members and friends noted that it seemed cold and bizarre to advertise for the funeral home group as frequently as it was mentioned during the services. Additionally, they no longer accept promissory notes - this means that if you are intending to pay with life insurance, you better hope the life insurance company pays out promptly because otherwise you will be on the hook for the entire balance owed prior to services occurring. A minor aside is that the flowers provided by Silverton were less vibrant than I had seen in the past, as they now use a florist up in Sayreville. The hydrangeas were rather dry and browning.”

“The care and kindness of the entire staff at Silverton cannot be surpassed. At such a time of grief they were there to assist the family with every detail needed to get us through. They took such wonderful care of Connie and we will always be grateful. Thank you all, Cathy Rogozinski.”
