Description
Mr. & Mrs. Waitt purchased an old estate home property and spent about a year converting the historic (over 100 year old) residence into a funeral home. "The homelike atmosphere was kept so our families would be comfortable." The grand opening was held in June of 1965. When the funeral home opened, Marlboro Township had a population of about 4000 people. Over the years, the funeral home has grown to accommodate the ever growing population of Marlboro Township and the surrounding communities of Matawan, Aberdeen, Keyport, and Holmdel. In the 1980’s an addition was built on the building to enhance the chapel size and areas for families and their visitors. In 2000, future funeral director and owner, David Hernandez began working as an apprentice and in 2001 Michael V. Grandi started as a funeral director and quickly became the manager of Waitt Funeral Home. Again there was a need to enhance and renovate the building and throughout 2002 and 2003 an extensive restoration was completed. The renovation included repairs to the 100 year old building, new roofs, bathrooms, arrangement room, and lobbies much of how the building looks today. As word of our service and beautiful facilities spread, families began to use our funeral home from neighboring towns. The need arose for a new location in the town of Old Bridge in Middlesex County. In May 2007 the doors of Old Bridge Funeral Home opened to the community. Old Bridge Funeral Home was built on the solid reputation of families first and has grown to become the premier funeral home for families in Old Bridge and surrounding areas such as East Brunswick, Spotswood, and South River.

Everyone takes such good care of you and your loved ones from the very beginning to the very end. I have used Waitt Funeral Home for the past 18 years and have never had a bad experience. As a matter of fact, they are excellent. I have had my dad, son, mother and now my husband waked there over the past 18 years and they just seem to always make this difficult time for me effortless. I highly recommend Waitt Funeral Home and will be planning my future arrangements with them for peace of mind.

The entire staff at Waite in Morganville was very responsive from our first phone call, to all e-mails, and to our final goodbyes to our Mom. They were very sensitive to our needs, answered all questions, explained things very well, and accomplished all services beautifully. They were very organized, prompt, and respectful in observing our traditions. They truly understand a person’s grief and offer comfort and understanding. Their attention to detail and compassionate manner were excellent and so appreciated during this difficult time. We were extremely pleased with all they did for us.

Jeff and the Waitt funeral home did an excellent job assisting the family with the arrangements after my father’s unexpected passing. From beginning to end, they took care of the cremation, family visitation, Mass at St. Clement’s Church and repast at The Reception with such caring attention to detail and patience, and at a reasonable price. It was a wonderful send-off to Dad in the way he would have wanted. We highly recommend Waitt.

During the difficult times when a loved one passed away, a critical element in the process is the funeral home. They can ease your stress and anxiety by working diligently in ensuring all the details, paperwork and process is taken care of by someone knowledgeable, compassionate, sympathetic and has a sense of urgency. That’s what I found at Waitt Funeral Home & Cremation Service. Sharron and Jayme walked us through the process and really took care of all the “behind-the-scenes” activities. They were responsive and were available to answer my questions. When a loved one passes away you don’t have the time to research and call everyone to choose the best. These reviews are great help to know quickly if your loved one will be in good hands. I hope this review is helpful to you.

My family and I recently lost my father suddenly and in such a painful time the staff here was exceptionally professional and caring. They went out of their way for us especially in the appearance of my father. The best compliment I can give is that he looked like himself. They were sensitive to the fact that his 3 grandchildren were there and were just wonderful. When I came into the room for the first time and saw him I was at peace and then I looked over and they had supplied us with his picture in a frame with his birthdate and the date of his passing for us to keep, it was so beautiful and unexpected, I ordered some for our family, it hangs in my living room today. It was just one of the special touches. They packed up our pictures and mementos for us and just made a difficult and sad situation just a little better because they thought of everything. I would highly recommend this establishment for its staff and how much comfort they were to us. They were organized for the very large procession we had and just did everything you would expect and hope for from a funeral home. I am forever grateful for the care they showed my father and our family.
