When my mother-in-law recently passed away and we needed to find a funeral home for her arrangements, we found this place. We were hesitant about using a new business but went to check it out and were very impressed with the accommodations they offered. The viewing room was so beautiful. Also, the location was ideal for those coming in from NJ and Brooklyn as it's near the Goethals, the Bayonne and the SI expressway. The staff did an incredible job handling all the arrangements from handling the flowers, the casket, a video memorial, the church, the cemetery and so much more. Most importantly, the care and respect they showed in handling my mother-in-law's body is what touched us the most. They really helped give her a beautiful send-off.

I'm extremely grateful for the entire team at Forest North. When my grandmother passed away we had not prepared for all the arrangements and coordination that would follow. My family and I are so thankful for Ashley, who worked with us during the entire process. She was very kind and understanding, one of the many qualities we looked for when finding a place . From the moment I spoke to Pat, I felt like I was being treated as a friend. He was very patient and kind with everyone he spoke to. Thankful that during a very difficult time in our lives, we were helped and guided by this amazing team.

Just wanted to take a moment to thank Pat and Ashley for their amazing compassion and support in planning and conducting a memorable funeral for my mom. No one wants to think about funeral arrangements, especially in a time of grief. Ashley was by our side throughout the process, from the first phone call through the interment. She was attentive to our needs and wishes. No question was left unanswered.
She was patient and compassionate. Ashley helped coordinate setting up a beautiful video collage of my mother's life. She handled all of the transactions which lifted a tremendous burden from us. I never felt like they were trying to sell us anything. Pat is the Funeral Director and he treats you as if you are family. Most important is knowing your loved one will be treated with respect and dignity. I felt totally confident having my mom under their care. The location was beautifully designed; a very clean, new and bright facility complete with valet parking.

Beautifully designed and modern facility. I was looking to plan a service for my grandmother and wanted to move away from the traditional, stuffy funerals of the past. The staff at Forest North was very accommodating and made my vision a reality. I was beyond impressed with the celebration of my grandmother’s life and extremely grateful that I didn’t “break the bank”. Thank you, I will be recommending your funeral home to everyone on the island!
