I would highly recommend Old Bridge Funeral Home. I was deeply touched by so many things during one of the most difficult times in my life. When David Hernandez and the young director placed a red rose on her hospital bed when you picked my mom up, i will never forget it. They were patient and truly understanding that night despite the wee hours of the morning, I am grateful. I was relieved when I found out her ashes could get back from the crematory in time for the memorial mass we were planning while the family was there, I am grateful. I was deeply touched by the comfort, professionalism, and condolences by Old Bridge Funeral Home and the entire staff.. Your kindness and generosity was greatly appreciated. As I reflect on those wonderful people who helped me get through this, Old Bridge Funeral Home is on the top of my list!

My family could not have been more pleased or more thankful for the guidance and service we received from David and his excellent team at Old Bridge Funeral Home. We were completely surprised by the passing of my mother and did not really know where to turn to find out how best to honor her.

We called two other funeral homes first that were more familiar to us in the community and were turned off that they seemed to have very little interest in what my mother's wishes were and wanted us to conform to their "usual" ways of doing things. When we called OB FH and the phone was answered by Matthew we knew we found the right place. From the very beginning their only genuine interest was on helping us through the grieving process. They did all of the listening where as the other places did all of the talking.

We could not have been more happy with the end result. The entire memorial service was a wonderful celebration of my mother. They handled every aspect that we wanted to outsource to them. Over 350 people attended and commented how beautiful the service was and how it made it easier to say goodbye to my mother. Their team even personally handled guiding 125 people to the lunch following the service at a restaurant over a half hour away. My mother would have been very touched by the entire day and it could not have been accomplished without Old Bridge Funeral Home. Thank you.

Dave Hernandez has been a true encouragement to many people we have directed to them. Not only has their over the top wonderful service been extended to many who were in dire straits but even during this Corona Virus pandemic they have personally taken care of us in every degree in the passing of our son.

Their flexibility to provide services there at their location or working with local churches has been over the top. Thank you from our hearts!!!

We wanted to go with another funeral home but they didn't have the Saturday time we wanted. When my grandmother passed this January we were all at a loss but when Waitt said they had the availability we were able to get the ball rolling. We worked with Stephanie and she was AMAZING! IF I COULD GIVE HER MORE STARS I WOULD! The funeral home is open 24 hours so when we had questions in the evening she would call us back immediately. The funeral home offered complimentary live service for those who couldn't attend due to COVID! A service other homes don't provide. We made meal kits for our guests since we couldn't have a traditional reception. Stephanie offered to have her team pass it out to cars on there way out of the cemetery. She was very flexible. I hope it is a long time until we need their service again, but when the time comes we'll be going with Waitt Funeral Home again and asking for Stephanie!

They have always been kind and go out of their way to help you out. During one of the hardest times a person can go through you can be assured to have a friend even if you didn't know them before hand a friend to help you go through the process of such an event which does change your lives.

My Grandma transitioned into a better place on June 27th, 2023. Ms. Brittany assisted our family during this time of need. There was absolutely no stress or worries regarding making great arrangements for my grandma. Ms. Brittany was absolutely amazing. Seriously!!! I recommend Bolock Funeral Home Service's to other families.🙏🏽👼🏽💙🙏🏽👼🏽💙🙏🏽👼🏽💙🙏🏽👼🏽💙

During our time of sorrow for the loss of our mom, Bolock was there from the beginning. Laura was the person who arrived at our home for the intake process which went well under the circumstances. She was consoling and precise about what we needed to do going forward regarding mom who passed at home where she preferred to be. Upon arriving at Bolock we met with Brittany who was the most caring, compassionate, professional ever. Above and beyond was the services provided which made the grieving process more of a blessing for our mom’s transition. We know that she is at peace in The Presence of The Lord but we knew that her remains was in good hands at Bolock. Thanks to all of the caring staff for making a hard time lighter.

I cannot say enough how helpful the Bolock Funeral Home was to me. From the first phone call I knew I made the right decision to use this funeral home. They were very understanding and asked questions to make sure I was taken care of during this emotional time. The viewing, funeral service, and burial was treated with so much respect my family and my husband's family could not express enough how much we were appreciative of their support. They treated me with so much compasion. Thank you so very much for everything you did during this emotional time.

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional services provided by Old Bridge Funeral Home. During a tough time, their team's compassion, professionalism, and attention to detail were remarkable.

David met us with warmth and empathy from the moment we walked through their doors. The staff took the time to listen to our needs and wishes, offering guidance without ever making us feel rushed or pressured. Their dedication to honoring our loved one's memory was evident in every aspect of the arrangements.

The facility itself was beautifully maintained and created a serene atmosphere that perfectly suited the occasion. Every detail, from the floral arrangements to the setup of the memorial service, was executed flawlessly. The Old Bridge Funeral Home team demonstrated an unwavering commitment to ensuring that everything ran smoothly, allowing our family to focus on grieving and remembering our cherished family member.

One aspect that truly stood out was their flexibility in accommodating our unique requests. They went above and beyond to incorporate personal touches into the service, making it a truly personalized and heartfelt tribute. It was clear that they understood the importance of celebrating a life in a way that reflected the individuality of our loved one.

Throughout the entire process, the staff displayed not only professionalism but also a deep sense of empathy. We mainly worked with Amanda, who provided genuine care and support and comforted our family during a difficult time. Their availability to answer questions and address concerns was invaluable, and we felt like they were there for us every step of the way.

I wholeheartedly recommend Old Bridge Funeral Home to anyone seeking compassionate and professional funeral services. Their dedication to honoring lives and supporting grieving families is truly commendable. Our family is immensely grateful for their role in helping us navigate a challenging time, and we are confident that others will find solace in their exceptional services.

Old Bridge Funeral Home is a place of comfort, understanding and love. All of the things needed when I loss my dad and now my mom. Everyone here is special. It takes special people to help those who is going through or has gone through a loss that makes one still. With the loss of my dad, in 2010, David helped my family through the process and the healing. Now, in 2023, Amanda another special person, like the other staff, is a treasure, compassionate, and truly knows what one is going through. I thank Old Bridge Funeral Home and I highly recommend them to everyone. Marlene Jupinka.

Waitt-Nelms has always provided our families (Hourihan-Quinn-DeLoskey) with superlative professional services, enriched with kindness and compassion. Michael and his staff provided our families with such warmth as they guided us through arrangements for our loved ones. Their after care services indicate that they truly understand the grief of losing a loved one.
We are always grateful for their professional, compassionate care.
