Barlow & Zimmer Funeral Home in Hightstown NJ, handled my fathers funeral back in late February…read more2017. We were planning to meet with them a few days from when I called to do some advance preparations, and unfortunately things changed very quickly. Mr. Zimmer was outstanding, compassionate, and when you compliment that which his partner Mr. Barlow and their associates, you could not get more professional. We met the next day and they were outstanding. We were exhausted, distraught, and everything that I feared would be complicated was not and they really took the time to answer anything and all questions. Further, they were there for any other needs albeit referrals or support groups etc. They facilitated all of our needs and requirements and helped make it all look seamless from any religious requirements (which they were well versed on) to the ambiance of music, pictures, and other things that represented our father so well. Not one thing was unclear. Not one question unanswered. I trust them very much should we ever need anything in the future and you would be well served by dealing with them. Sorry it took a little while to write this, but they really deserve it.

We used this funeral home for my dad who recently passed away. There was several issues 1# They…read morewhere supposed to list my dads obituary in the Trentonian Times it was never listed only on their website so a lot of people didn't know 2#They messed up my dads memorial cards by spelling his last name wrong like come on its his last thing for him. 3# His casket had a string hanging from it then when his casket was closed it was hanging out and it was frayed and blowing in the wind I was lived. 4#They gave us a price then it changed to a lot more I just feel disrespected that my dads funeral was the way it was we emailed his obituary it never made the paper and his memorial card his last name was spelled wrong how could they mess that up I'm so mad so if you have a service there don't be to impressed.

This batch of Yelp reviews helped us tremendously and I wanted to add. I know plenty about the food…read moreI enjoy and review restaurants accordingly. This, however, we knew very little about. Ron was extremely helpful. We needed the most basic of services, and Ron guided us every step of the way. Always pleasant, and transparent about the cost. He did not push us at all to get things which were not wanted. I actually wish he had pushed a little bit, as we forgot a couple things. Ron has our highest recommendation. Do not be afraid to ask him anything: suggestions, options, etc. He will help.

Ron Jasinski handled the funerals for both of my parents. His patient and understanding manner made…read morethe whole process as easy as possible. He expertly guided me through each logistical and legal step, he provided great support and insight, and he was always there to listen. His calming and reassuring presence helped create the meaningful and memorable experience that my parents deserved. He was always available and provided reminders as needed. All costs were clear ahead of time, he showed what all the options were and was supportive of all my choices and decisions. There was never any pressure to upgrade or include anything that I didn't want. He did provide excellent suggestions on how to make the events as meaningful and memorable as possible. I have recommended him and Kimble Funeral Home to friends who have had the same experience with Ron.

I cannot recommend Ruby Memorial strongly enough. Our family worked with Maryann Malek and her…read moreassistant, Patty. They made the most impossible time in our lives infinitely easier with exactly the right combination of skill, clear communication, compassion, and care. They were professional while also being completely human in our time of need. They catered to the needs of my sister's children with deep patience, grace, and love. I felt a wave of calm and comfort in their hands. They even helped us set up the room for her funeral and brought it to life with their own special touches and wealth of experience. Maryann held me every step of the way trying to coordinate things while I was in terrible pain. She is every good thing and your family will find itself in the most capable hands with Ruby Memorial. Every single person we interacted with there was truly exceptional. I will always think of them as a bright spot in an otherwise incredibly dark moment.

My father passed away in NJ. I was out of the state and found Ruby Memorial on Yelp. We made a call…read moreand spoke to Maryann. She was very pleasant to work with and very knowledgeable about the process. We flied in to NJ on a Sunday and our father was picked up and ready to go on Monday for us. After the viewing, we talked a little more and learned what to do next. Price was fair and up front. Cash and checks preferred, but they can take credit cards. They also helped us with obtaining certified copies of father's death certificate. Thank you Ruby Memorial for making life easy, especially so close to Thanksgiving during the pandemic. It is highly recommended for your local service.
