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!
