Testimonials

We receive many letters from the families we've served, thanking us for our caring ways during their time of loss. Their words warm our hearts, and speak to you of our professionalism, compassion, and the true value of the services we provide.

My mom, Phyllis, recently passed away. She was 97 years old. Our experience with Rocco in arranging my mom’s final send off was seamless and painless in every way. Rocco made us feel like friends as he guided us through what could have been a very stressful process. He handled everything. The hardest thing we had to do was provide the photos for the video tribute that was just beautiful. I had an image in mind for the prayer card that wasn’t available in the catalog. Rocco took the image and had it custom made along with the poem I wanted on the back. Beautiful. Several guests commented on Rocco’s professionalism and organization of the event. It was a comfort having him in charge. Really beautiful.

My mom passed away late last year. Rocco made this very sad and difficult time for my family and me stress free. My sister and I had never planned a funeral before and Rocco walked us through making the arrangements step by step. His compassion and understanding was greatly appreciated. Even months after the funeral when my family and I were still dealing with the church regarding an issue with my mom's headstone, he went beyond and above assisting us in resolving the issue. He also even made sure my sister and I were provided with resources to help us with our grieving process. I highly recommend Kurzawa Funeral Home. My family and I cannot thank them enough.

Recently my sister and I suffered the loss of our beloved father, Adam Bielak. Our choice of Kurzawa Funeral Home made the whole stressful time so much easier. The main hall is immaculate, beautifully decorated and comfortable. That was important, but what really made our experience with Kurzawa memorable was the expertise of its director, Rocco Cuoco. Rocco attended to every detail, from the placement of the floral arrangements to the final moments at the graveside. Nothing was left to chance, and our family was able so mourn and remember without any problems or interruptions. His presence was constant but unobtrusive - he is a true professional. I would highly recommend this funeral home to anyone who has had to deal with the loss of a loved one. They really do know how to handle the moment.

The professionalism and care my family received in our time of grief went well above and beyond with Kurzawa. When my father passed, we initially contacted another funeral home in South Amboy who were unprofessional and more interested in their best interest than my father’s wishes. With Kurzawa, our expectations were exceeded and met with much compassion. It is so comforting to know they were there for us during a difficult time.

My mom was very ill and we were seeking a place to help us out with the final arrangements to prepare us for the inevitable. My sister and I walked into Kurzawa funeral home and were greeted  by Rocco the manager with such kindness and compassion. We were told from that day we would be treated like family and those words stayed true. During the whole unfortunate process , he basically held our hand. He answered all our questions and always made himself available for any questions we may have. He made all the arrangements starting with ordering the flowers , the obituary and ending with getting the pastor for the service. His staff as well as Rocco himself could not have been more supportive   and respectful of our family and friends. I know he treats all the grieving families with such care and kindness, even so I felt he went above and beyond for our family He went as far as getting his staff yellow ties to match our families attire which was my mother's favorite color. He even took time away from his busy schedule to find a poem and read it at the end of the service. Rocco is definitely in the right business, every family going through this difficult time should be treated as we were treated like his very own family. I will be forever grateful for everything he did for us. We definitely went to the right place to give my mom everything she deserved and more. Thank you Rocco and staff for all of your caring and support Sincerely the Brinkerhoff family

My family has used Kurzawa for multiple generations and within the last 3 years, we have had three funerals. Rocco is outstanding and operates events like a conductor keeping things orderly and tremendously assists the family. He is extremely tactful in dealing with the business side and goes out of his way to educate people on what needs to be done and looks to minimize costs as much as possible. I can't recommend Kurzawa highly enough.

Their cremation service was done quickly and painlessly. Rocco understood that I didn’t want a funeral to display my mom to respect her wishes. Rocco thoroughly explained everything I needed to know, answered my questions, and was very kind during this difficult time and afterwards. His staff texted me if I needed any emotional support. I would highly recommend Kurzawa.

Years before my parents passed away, they wished to have their combined funeral taken care of by Kurzawa. When my Mom passed away last month out of state, the funeral home efficiently, respectfully, & seamlessly took care of everything for me: from coordinating the transportation of remains to NJ, the mass, the grave-side service, funeral cards, multiple obituaries, & military honors for my Dad. Their funeral parlor was beautiful. Everyone who attended the services had nothing but great things to say about Kurzawa. Even the recommended hotels & restaurants provided by Kurzawa were excellent. Kurzawa was in constant contact with me every step of the way. Rocco and his staff made a difficult chapter in my family's lives easier to get through.

Every one life will come to the end sometime. But when someone dies at a young age, then became more tragic and more unexpected. We lost our son in a fatal car accident and as emigrants, we didn't know where to ask for a funeral service. Following advice from our friend, we come to Kurzawa Funeral Home in South Amboy, and that decision makes us easier to get thru a hard and stressful time we were suffering. From the first meeting with the general manager to transporting the body for cremation, everything was done perfectly. Rocco even persuaded our son's friend to convoy his body to cremation on motorcycles. We had presented all choices in detail before we decided which to choose. On the visiting day were about two hundred people and everything was cared for perfectly by the staff. I will always recommend this place to everyone. Very nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and affordable price.

Our mother was living in CA. When we learned that her health was failing we knew that we needed to make plans for her funeral early because of the fact we needed to deal with her return to NJ. We contacted Rocco at Kurzawa's. He was most understanding and helped us plan everything in advance so that when the time came, Mom would be able to return home with out any last minute problems. When Mom did pass Rocco took care of everything. We just needed to show up. Every detail was handled the day of the wake and funeral by Rocco and his staff. It was more than we could have asked for. Thank you for all that you did to make an extremely difficult time easier for us. Toni Potthoff. Ida Snyder and Maria Matheny

Mom was living in CA. When we knew that her time was coming, my sister and I went to Kurzawa's to make the arrangements to retuen her to NJ without any problems. Rocco took care of everything, from the arrangements with a funeral home in CA, with the airlines and picking her up at the airport.. Everything went so smoothly. Her viewing and service here were beautiful. It is so nice not to have to worry about anything at such a sorrowful time. Thank you Rocco and your Associates for making such a tough time manageable.

I cannot express how amazing Kurzawa Funeral Homes has been through our difficult time. Rocco was not only attentive, responsive, and respectful-he went above and beyond with patience and kindness. Through not only our current state of affairs, but my Dad's passing, there was never a step missed, and Rocco made sure our family was taken care of. Thank you so much again, so much gratitude for all you did. UPDATE: A year later, due to the pandemic, we are holding a memorial for my father. Rocco helped my mother with a beautiful gift to give. He still a year later is very attentive and kind to my family. Thank you so very much for all you did and continued to do.

Hi, I don’t write many reviews. Has to be very deserving either for good or bad. This one is exceptionally great. Our Dad passed away August 14, 2020. In the midst of the chaos of the pandemic. The passing of a family member is a very earth rocking event without a world gone crazy in a pandemic. Emotions run high, many things get left up in the air, where do you turn first? Well, I am very very grateful that when I turned around and round to try and figure out what happens next, that I was fortunate enough to have called upon Rocco and his team at Kurzawa Funeral Home. He could not have possibly been more helpful - really unbelievable for us. Our Dad passed suddenly and my brother and I had never had to deal with making any type of arrangements like this before. Rocco was so very kind and understanding. I know, people in this business are supposed to be, after all, they are dealing with families that have lost someone, but the kindness and understanding and guidance we had from Rocco and staff was next level. Given all the current obstacles from Covid, the safe guidelines, the ever changing rules of gatherings, the county offices not being fully functional for proper documents and paperwork that goes along with the passing of a loved one, it can seem insurmountable - Rocco helped us thru it all, even with things that were not necessarily in his purview to be responsible for - he was there - generously helpful, every detail, follow-up,even while he himself was under the weather. I cannot possibly say enough, we are forever grateful. Sincerely, Len House

Our family had suffered the loss of my father in July so when my grandmother died early in November, we were devastated. From the moment Rocco from Kurzawa funeral got on the phone with my mom and I, it was as if we were talking to family. It never felt like a business, or a transaction. It was always a conversation that made us feel supported and secure that all would be taken care of and be ok. As a family we cannot express how grateful we are for your kindness and care during this time.

Rocco and the staff of Kurzawa Funeral Home were not just professional but anticipated our family’s needs. At a time when it was so difficult to think, having someone like Rocco attend to details and arrangements was instrumental in having the memorial service we wanted for my mom. His sensitivity and expertise were enhanced by his ability to get everything done that we asked. He was able to work quickly and to coordinate every step of the memorial in order to provide a beautiful, unique service. He was very easily accessible. Rocco is extremely supportive and his calm guidance throughout the whole experience made everything as easy as it could have been at such a difficult time. Additionally, his website offers extensive resources for grieving families. He also made himself available to us not just around the time of the memorial service, but even a year later when we needed his help transferring my mom’s ashes. Every interaction with Rocco went smoothly and felt like he had nothing but our state of mind foremost in his.

Kurzawa Funeral Home: Losing a loved one is never easy. My mom unfortunately passed away from a rough battle with ALS in early April. Watching her suffer was more than my family and I could take...that's when Rocco and his team came to the rescue. Rocco was more than supportive and understanding. He helped us take a breath with the confidence of knowing "mom"was well taken care of. His staff was patient, and took care of all of the arrangements flawlessly. Further, he took the time to explain the process, take my many calls about how the process would be carried out and made sure EVERYTHING was handled with the utmost respect and care. Pricing was more than fair and truthfully more affordable than most other funeral homes. However, the real difference between Rocco and his team, is that the fair cost, was met with the highest level of service we could have asked for. Sadly, no one wants to see a loved one go. Kurzawa allowed my family to grieve and treated my mom with the care she deserved! Thank You Rocco and the team at Kurzawa! Sincerely, Owen Kessler

Highly recommend Kurzawa for any funerals of loved ones. The Funeral Director Rocco provided an open line of constant communication, compassion, and availability to answer any questions while arranging my father’s services. In a time of uncertainty, he explained everything clearly and made the process as seamless as possible given the situation. In particular, I absolutely loved the slideshow and prayer cards that they helped create for my father. Even after the services, Rocco remained a call away if I needed anything. The personal interaction during such a bittersweet time will be something that I will always be appreciative of and highly encourage others to contact Kurzawa for that reason.

Rocco and Kurzawa Funeral Home are the best and I highly recommend them! Several years ago I needed to set up an Irrevocable Funeral Trust for my mother on short notice to qualify her for Medicaid and Rocco spent an hour explaining it to me over the phone and helped me get the paperwork completed by the next day. When she passed away in June 2033, everything was already in place and Rocco handled things perfectly and even made a special trip to my house to pick up some items I wanted buried with her. He knows the ins and outs of everything involved and made a difficult situation so much better for me and my family!

Kurzawa Funeral Home is not a modern-day funeral service provider. They have provided the South Amboy community exceptional service for over 50 years. Managed by Rocco Cuoco, a genuine person with generations of family experience. His compassion took our family through a crisis and mourning to a time of celebrating our uncle’s life. Kurzawa values our veterans, and Rocco ensured our uncle received the honors he deserved. Rocco left no stone unturned; he cared for everything, allowing us to focus on family. He took the stress out of sorrowful times, and we are grateful for his warm heart and professionalism.

On behalf of our family, we would like to extend our sincerest thanks to the Kurzawa Funeral Home for managing the final services for our brother Edward Szaro. Following the services, the family gathered and reflected on the arrangements and how Edward’s last wishes were honored throughout the day with a simple yet personal memorial. We truly appreciated Rocco, who was always very professional, polite, and helpful when answering questions and responding to texts and phone calls while making the arrangements. We appreciated his compassion for our family and his guidance and suggestions while planning the services. Over two years ago, Kurzawa Funeral Home managed the final services for Edward’s mother, Eleanor Szaro. Rocco helped the family through the loss of their mother and the overwhelming quarantine restrictions of final services during the pandemic. That was another example of Rocco’s professionalism and the compassionate care he provides families during exceptionally challenging times. We can’t thank Rocco and his entire team enough for their professional service, assistance, and support. Our heartfelt thanks and appreciation are extended for their care and attention to detail throughout this difficult process

I cannot possibly say enough, we are forever grateful. Sincerely, Len House

I would highly recommend Kurzawa Funeral Homes. During an extremely difficult time, Rocco was compassionate and extremely responsive. He was wonderful in helping us make decisions and always lovely. we had a very small service outside the funeral home for my brother in law and even though it is not what we are used to, it was very nicely done and we had closure that the family needed. As I told Rocco on the phone, I only have good things to say about this establishment and would feel 100% comfortable in recommending them to other families when the need arises.

Rocco, Words cannot express the gratitude my brother and his wife (Chester & Sandy Klein) have for you in their time of need. Losing their son, Bryan Klein was very difficult for them. But, what you have done for them is above and beyond and for that we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. As per our conversation on Tuesday, when this pandemic is over, we would like to have a memorial service for Bryan to celebrate his live. Again thank you for all you have done. May God bless you and your family. Have a Blessed Easter. Sincerely, Halina Dominick

My mom was very ill and we were seeking a place to help us out with the final arrangements to prepare us for the inevitable. My sister and I walked into Kurzawa funeral home and were greeted by Rocco the manager with such kindness and compassion. We were told from that day we would be treated like family and those words stayed true. During the whole unfortunate process , he basically held our hand. He answered all our questions and always made himself available for any questions we may have. He made all the arrangements starting with ordering the flowers , the obituary and ending with getting the pastor for the service. His staff as well as Rocco himself could not have been more supportive and respectful of our family and friends. I know he treats all the grieving families with such care and kindness, even so I felt he went above and beyond for our family He went as far as getting his staff yellow ties to match our families attire which was my mother's favorite color. He even took time away from his busy schedule to find a poem and read it at the end of the service. Rocco is definitely in the right business, every family going through this difficult time should be treated as we were treated like his very own family. I will be forever grateful for everything he did for us. We definitely went to the right place to give my mom everything she deserved and more. Thank you Rocco and staff for all of your caring and support Sincerely the Brinkerhoff family

Rocco made a devastating experience of losing Mom into an experience of positive memories, leaving smiles on everyones faces and feeling blessed, as he really captured her spirit. All who came feeling sad left feelings uplifter with positive memories of her. I know Mom was looking down saying "This is a real tribute... a proper send off!" My initial concerns of what had to be done faded quickly as Rocco walked me through everything, step by step, explaining everything, with patience, kindness and respect. Thank you so much for everything! Balicki Family

I would like to commend Rocco for 'over the top' customer service. He is very compassionate and understanding and deserves a 5 star rating. During this most difficult time, he guided us and helped us every step of the way. He is attentive and shows 'great care' towards his customers. I sincerely appreciate the professional manner in the way he worked with me and my wife. He deserves to be recognized for his care.

I cannot thank Kurzawa Funeral home enough for making such a difficult time for my family and I less stressful. They made it easy to say goodbye to our loved one without worrying about everything that comes with planning a funeral. Rocco was extremely help and very sensitive to our families needs. He made sure we were accomadated, explained everything thoroughly and helped us every step of the way. I'd also like to thank Ciena Recine for assisting Rocco, dealing with my picky family and making sure our loved one look peaceful and like himself. Overall this funeral home and their staff were amazing to us. We thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for all that you did.

The total experience offered by Rocco and Nick was completely filled with compassion and understanding. They were able to give to my family the knowledge that they cared to make this experience very heartfelt and as gentle as possible. This was not an easy time for our family but through Kurzawa's we persevered and genuinely thank them and all who supported us during our grieving.

This past week my mother passed away and Rocco Cuzco, the manager, and his staff were friendly, compassionate, kind, from start to finish. The day we came to sign off on documents, select urns, was difficult but we never felt rushed. Rocco took the time to explain everything in detail. If you should ever face this kind of tragedy..I highly recommend Kurzawa Funeral Home. They make the best out of a bad situation.

Rocco and the staff of Kurzawa Funeral Home were amazing. They handled my mother's funeral service with the respect and professionalism that one would want at this time. Paul put together a beautiful video tribute that the family was very pleased with. Rocco and the staff made this very difficult time easier and we are so grateful for that. This funeral home is very well organized and sensitive to the family's needs. We would highly recommend this funeral home to others.

I would like to thank Christine Cuoco for all her help. We had services for my father back in December but only recently had services at the William Doyal Memorial Veterans cemetery. Christine set that all up and it went exactly like she said. It was very lovely. My family appreciated all you did. Thank you from the Kardos family. 5 stars
