If I could give more than 5 starts, I would! Nick was truly a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. I spoke to Nick days before my mother passed away. From the start, he was helpful, compassionate, and genuinely kind. He organized the logistics of the day of the services, and even accommodated us with a custom floral arrangement. Joe and Maria were also very involved in making this sad day a little less sad. They were tactful when talking about cost, which is important because it was clear that their priority was our accommodations and not their bottom line. Even when we requested minor changes afterwards, they were understanding and helpful. On behalf of the immediate family of Cristiana Brea, we are truly appreciative and thankful that you handled our very sad moments with dignity and kindness.

My father passed away last month due to cancer. This had a heavy impact on myself as well as my family. The Joseph Lucchese Funeral Home made a tragic experience manageable. The staff were kind, sympathetic, and made me feel at ease. They were accessible and were very easy to communicate with. The cosmetologist was very talented. She was attentive to detail and ensured that my father was presented in the best way possible. Joseph Lucchese is a beautiful funeral home and it is safe to say that the establishment is a hidden gem in Morris Park. I highly recommend this establishment and I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation towards Jimmy Parisi, Nick, Maria, and Scarlett. On behalf of my family, I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for being there for us. -Denise

What is the purpose of a fancy casket?

To many people, it's important to select a casket made of very durable steel or semi-precious metal. They feel peace of mind knowing the selection they made protects against the outside elements. Often, families will want to select a casket that seems fitting for their loved one. For example, interiors with quilted patterns, hardwoods with tree designs, religious symbols such as the Last Supper or praying hands and sometimes floral designs, which may represent their family member’s favorite color or flower. Choosing a casket is a very personal decision, and we believe finding exactly what is right for you is so important, so we offer many choices in caskets and vaults.

What options are there outside of a traditional funeral?

Many people falsely believe that everyone has to have a β€œtraditional” funeral. However, we believe that every service should be personalized in order to honor the person who has died and be meaningful to the survivors. We offer alternatives such as humanistic services instead of religious services, visitations with or without viewing, and unique ceremonies to honor the person who has died. We try to be creative in helping the family make funeral arrangements so the decisions truly reflect their personal preferences and the life that has been lived.

Do you need to have a vault to be buried?

Our state laws do not require a vault for burial. However, most cemeteries do require an outside container for the casket. The reasoning for this is two-fold: First, the outside receptacle keeps the earth from settling, thus preventing the unevenness of the land which makes the cemetery less attractive. Second, it allows cemetery caretakers to more easily maintain the landscape, which is an advantage to you in a more beautiful cemetery at a lower cost.

How much does a funeral usually cost?

The national average for funeral costs is from $4,000 to $6,000, but the cost of a funeral tends to vary quite a bit. The total cost depends on three main factors: the services selected, the casket and vault chosen, and the automotive equipment utilized.
