- JTJohn TaylorFeb 21, 20265.0I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the excellent care our family received from everyone at John E. Day. We lost my dad recently and my mother-in-law last year, and both times every single person treated us with utmost compassion and professionalism… every single step of the way. Ted is an amazing Director, and you can’t help but feel comforted and at ease immediately in his presence. Thank you all, and God bless you.

- SBSusan BeneveniaFeb 8, 20265.0The compassionate care and service that was provided by John E. Day in Red Bank was a great comfort to me and our family at a very difficult time. During the initial meeting Ginny Sanzo went above and beyond to make everyone in our family feel welcome and as comfortable as possible during a very emotional time. Amanda, Josie, and the entire staff was wonderful to work with. Each person I encountered listened with an open heart, they were professional, caring, and patient, taking great care of every detail. I cannot express enough how thoughtful and responsive each person was throughout the entire process, and beyond. Their Home is well taken care of. It is evident that they take pride in their appearance. Their parlors are immaculate, updated, and the atmosphere is serene. The outside landscape is very well maintained and inviting. The fact that Michael was in their care was a comfort which means so much during a time such as this.They helped give our loved one a beautiful send off. I would recommend them to everyone. We appreciate everything the entire staff has done for our family.

Contact your clergy. Decide on time and place of funeral or memorial service. This can be done at the funeral home.

Make a list of immediate family, close friends and employer or business colleagues. Notify each by phone.
Decide on appropriate memorial to which gifts may be made (church, hospice, library, charity or school).
Gather obituary information you want to include such as age, place of birth, cause of death, occupation, college degrees, memberships held, military service , outstanding work, list of survivors in immediate family. Include time and place of services. The funeral home will normally write article and submit to newspapers (newspaper will accept picture and they will be returned intact).
Arrange for members of family or close friends to take turns answering door or phone, keeping careful record of calls. If Social Security checks are automatic deposit, notify the bank of the death.
When I call, will someone come right away?
If you request immediate assistance, yes. If the family wishes to spend a short time with the deceased to say good-bye, that’s perfectly acceptable. Your funeral director will come when your time is right.
Should I choose Burial or Cremation?
Burial in a casket is the most common method of disposing of remains in the United States, although entombment also occurs. Cremation is increasingly selected because it can be less expensive and allows for the memorial service to be held at a more convenient time in the future when relatives and friends can come together.
A funeral service followed by cremation need not be any different from a funeral service followed by a burial. Usually, cremated remains are placed in urn before being committed to a final resting place. The urn may be buried, placed in an indoor or outdoor mausoleum or columbarium, or interred in a special urn garden that many cemeteries provide for cremated remains. The remains may also be scattered, according to state law.
What is the purpose of embalming?
Embalming sanitizes and preserves the body. Embalming makes it possible to lengthen the time between death and the final disposition, allowing family members time to arrange and participate in the type of service most comforting to them.
