    The services themselves were fine - but the funeral home itself has been bought out by a larger…read morefuneral home group based in North Jersey. The planning process was easy and frankly painless - obituary, mass cards, casket, and services were convenient to plan and we honestly had everything taken care of, planning-wise, within an hour. The staff at Silverton are kind - they accommodated as necessary, helped resolve quick issues (though the issue was odd - the package we paid for included limo service, and we confirmed where the limo would pick us up, and yet they did not have a limo ready for the day of the funeral). However, the business practices are not well-intended, especially for Ocean County. For one, during the funeral, the funeral director mentioned the name of the funeral home group multiple times, as though advertising it, during a funeral service. Because I wasn't sure if my grief was addling my perceptions, I waited to see if some guests at the services would mention it - lo and behold, multiple family members and friends noted that it seemed cold and bizarre to advertise for the funeral home group as frequently as it was mentioned during the services. Additionally, they no longer accept promissory notes - this means that if you are intending to pay with life insurance, you better hope the life insurance company pays out promptly because otherwise you will be on the hook for the entire balance owed prior to services occurring. A minor aside is that the flowers provided by Silverton were less vibrant than I had seen in the past, as they now use a florist up in Sayreville. The hydrangeas were rather dry and browning.

    I cant begin on how horrible our service was... the details matter people…read more 1. Messed up the obit 2. Placed corsage on deceased that was meant for living sister. Nothing like taking flowers off a dead lady!! We had to ask for the boutineres fir the sons, they forgot them. 3. I never felt more uncomfortable at a funeral before, I felt like I was intruding. 4. Here's the kicker on our way out the sprinklers went on at 6:30. Got soaked fetting into the car. AND... I've been to other funerals here and witnessed issues. Keep looking!
