Choosing a funeral home is incredibly difficult, but finding Marotti-Burns was a true blessing for our family. After visiting numerous funeral homes across Ocean County, many of which felt very outdated, Marotti-Burns immediately stood out. Their interior is exceptionally clean, fresh, and contemporary, providing a comforting and uplifting atmosphere during a tough time.
Beyond the beautiful facility, they were by far the most affordable option we found, offering premium service without the exorbitant costs. Courtney and Jonathan are absolute professionals - always punctual, highly accessible, and incredibly friendly. They guided us seamlessly through the pre-planning and budgeting process, ensuring all of our mother’s final wishes were met perfectly. What we appreciated most was their compassionate approach; they were never pushy, and my family never felt a single ounce of pressure to make a purchase. Their excellent reputation and strong relationship with local vendors also made coordinating the arrangements entirely seamless.
We had both a viewing and a service at a local church, and everything went beautifully. Courtney, Jonathan, and their team handled every single detail flawlessly, allowing us to focus on honoring our mother. Even after the services were over, their support didn't stop. They were incredibly quick to provide the death certificates and assist with all the necessary administrative paperwork. If you want a compassionate, modern, and honest team to care for your loved ones from start to finish, I cannot recommend Marotti-Burns highly enough.

I recently had an excellent experience with Marotti-Burns Funeral Home during a very difficult time for me. From the moment I walked in, I were treated with compassion, professionalism, and genuine care, which was amazing considering I did not actually have a service with them (but eventually plan to). They did not treat me like a customer, they made me feel like family.
I especially want to recognize owner and funeral director Jonathan Marotti and owner Courtney Tobin-Iacone for their kindness, patience, and dedication. They went above and beyond to make sure everything question I had was answered. Their attention to conversation detail and heartfelt compassion truly made a difference.
I would highly recommend Marotti-Burns Funeral Home to anyone looking for caring and professional services. Thank you again to Jonathan and Courtney, you are the best.

Absolutely amazing—that’s the best way to describe this funeral home. They are caring, loving, and incredibly respectful. Courtney Tobin-Iacone and Jonathan Marotti set the standard for how everyone should be. If you’re connected to Lacey, Forked River, Lanoka Harbor, or anywhere south, Marotti-Burns Funeral Home is the only choice for your services.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful, accommodating, helpful and compassionate Courtney and Jonathan are. They created a truly therapeutic and healing experience, honoring my dad in a way I believe no one else could have.
They went above and beyond for me and my family, thoughtfully tailoring every detail to capture the essence of who my dad was.
The funeral home itself is beautiful, comforting, and welcoming, which made such a difficult time feel a little easier.
It takes a rare kind of compassion and dedication to do this work so beautifully, and they embody that completely. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
