Though my grandmother's passing was somewhat expected, it was no less devastating when it actually happened. My siblings & I were lost & confused about next steps. From the moment we spoke to Brian on a Saturday afternoon, we knew we were in good hands. He & the entire staff at Marrocco comforted us through our most difficult time. All questions were answered & all concerns were addressed with gentleness & compassion. We extend our deepest gratitude to Marrocco Memorial Chapel for all you do! Thank you!🙏🏾

My grandfather recently passed away and we used Marrocco. They stayed late to meet us and even for us to come back to finish up last minute things. The man that helped us made everything easy and done in one place from the arrangements to the cemetery details. Thank you guys again you made this process as easy as possible especially for my grandma and for that we are forever grateful.

The staff was very nice and helpful. They did everything to make things as comforting as possible. My Cousin Linda planned everything about 17-18 years ago and I believe all was done just as she would have wanted. The Marrocco's have been around for a long time and I believe that it's because they truly care and make hard times just a little bit easier.

Jim and crew were outstanding in every aspect during a difficult time for our family. Very compassionate and went the extra mile to accommodate us and answer all our questions.

Honest, professional and compassionate. When I lost my mother, I had no idea how to prepare for her funeral. Jim and his staff took the time to explain all the processes required. They were kind enough to let me hold a small mass in their chapel. I had to transport my mother to her home in another state and they helped with the air transport and contacted me when she arrived. They even refunded the balance of the airfare when the airline made a change. I am indebted to them because they gave me the opportunity to say farewell to my mother in the manner she requested.

Unfortunately my husband passed in a different state. I was unsure about burial arrangements and this weighed on me heavily. Once a decision was made the magnitude of arranging an interstate burial became apparent. Marrocco Memorial Chapel was recommend by a friend. How Jim was able to arrange and execute a seamless transfer from state to state so quickly amazed me. One phone call to Marrocco's put everything in motion. My husband's services were solemn and beautiful inspite of Covid restrictions. I highly recommend Marroco.

Can’t say enough about Marroccos Memorial Chapel. Nothing but kindness & compassion from everyone I dealt with during the most difficult time in the passing of my aunt.

My family has been using Marrocco Memorial Chapel for generations. This September was my turn with the passing of my father. From the moment I called needing them, James and his entire staff were compassionate, professional and efficient. They knew exactly how to get us through the rough parts and checked up on us to see how we were doing not only during the services but afterwards as well. I am and forever will be beyond grateful for everything they have done. My dad was right "Marrocco's the best"

Vincent, Jim and Staff, I cannot thank you all enough for your assistance during a very difficult time with the sudden passing of my husband, Al. You all showed me so much patience walking me thru the steps of what I needed to do when I couldn't even think straight. Your compassion toward me and my family made it a little easier. I don't know of another funeral parlor that would have done what you did. Thank you all so much..

It was important for us to see her off in the most gentil and elegant manner. This would not have been possible if not for your guidance, patience and support of some of the decisions we were faced to make. You have our gratitude!

Losing someone is one of the hardest experiences in life, and Marrocco Memorial was there to take some of that hardness off of mine and my family’s shoulders. Attentive, flexible, personable, kind. I could go on. Gary was excellent and answered all of my questions and concerns (no matter how many I had). Stephanie was also extremely helpful and warm. Both were a reassuring presence that made many very emotional days (funeral, entombment, etc.) as smooth as I could have ever hoped. I was extremely pleased with how everything went. Everything from the perfect room selection within their establishment, to Thank You cards and obituary postings. I would recommend them to anyone unlucky enough to need services such as the ones Marrocco expertly provides.

James Marrocco and Marrocco Memorial Chapel were so wonderful to our family when I lost my stepdaughter. He guided us through a very difficult time, being she lived in Nevada at the time of her passing. We could not have gotten through this terrible time, without the entire staff at Marrocco's. Thank you Gary and Stephanie for all your hard work and empathy. God Bless!

Teresa Frasche July 12, 2022

My family has used Marrocco Memorial several times over the years, and the service has always been extremely professional, courteous, compassionate, and with extreme attention to detail to make sure everything is perfect. A few months ago I had the unfortunate experience of having to make funeral arrangements for my father, and Charlene and Jim made sure that everything was taken care of from beginning to end. I really didn't have to ask for anything - they had everything and anything at the ready, and were more than available to answer any questions i had along the way. They also are familiar with my local church's customs (Ukrainian Catholic), which is a big plus to me and my family. Although I hope to not be in need of their services any time soon in the near future, I would certainly recommend them to anyone seeking these types of services for their loved ones - the professionalism and compassion is unmatched.

Maria Moch June 02, 2019

In behalf of my family I would like to thank Marrocco Memorial Chapel for their warmth and kindness in assisting us through our grief. In old age, and having been in the Nursing Home for 5 years, the passing away of our mother was expected. It is one thing to give that love and care when she was alive but it is overwhelming when, while dealing with our grief, there is that final task of having to bring her to her final resting place. We really appreciated the gentle guidance of Jim and Maria of having to go through that process. Their warmth made us feel like family. All consideration and understanding was given. The Chapel provided a calming atmosphere to come together to say our goodbyes and the final trip to the cementary was proper and organized. The process unfolded with ease, allowing us to grieve and not be overwhelmed with a task. Their service was truly professional but also personal and this was truly appreciated by our family. Our heartfelt thanks Jim and Maria.

My father-in-law was a planner and pre-arranged his funeral a few years ago early in his illness. This was a wonderful and thoughtful act on his part because it spared his family all of the decision making. The visitation and funeral were so beautiful thanks to Jimmy Marrocco, a fourth generation funeral director. My father-in-law looked so serene in his beautiful blue casket with an Italian Rosary in his hands gifted from Jimmy. My wife and I are so grateful to the entire Marrocco staff who embrace their vocations of helping the broken hearted with grace and compassion.

My son recently passed away unexpectedly at the early age of 28. We all know a parent should not have to bury their child. With no knowledge of the first thing I had to do I began by calling Marocco Memorial. Both my grandparents had a beautiful funeral prepared by them many years ago. From the first phone call to Elizabeth I knew I had made the right call. She was so helpful in every step of the way. Making phone calls and getting all the documents needed so I wouldn't have the burden along with my grief. Upon my meeting with Jim the owner again all my needs were met. He had a wonderful priest come to the funeral to say a beautiful sermon who actually took the time to ask about my son prior the day of the funeral and made it very loving and personal. Marrocco Memorial Chapel is very deserving of your confidence. My son was given the thoughtful service and burial he deserved and they lightened the burden for myself his mother. My appreciation goes beyond words. I recommend anyone who is also burdened with the loss of their loved to put their trust with James Marrocco.

Marrocco Memorial Chapel has been a huge help to me and my family. They helped us a year ago when we lost our mother. Everything was smooth and easy as far as arrangements. More recently, we lost our brother due to COVID-19. I live in SC and had to make all arrangements online and by phone. I dealt mostly with Stephanie who was helpful, respectful and accommodating. Jim took the initial call and guided me to next steps. We did not have a memorial service but we were able to select a dignified urn and will schedule one when restrictions are lifted. Thank you again to all the fine folks at Marroccos.

Although wakes and funerals aren’t happy occasions, the staff of Marrocco Memorial Chapel made them peaceful and full of good memories. Each staff member was respectful and attentive, listened to our requests and, if possible, made them happen. The video they made from my mother’s photos was lovely. And they made my mother look beautiful and at rest.

The folks at Marrocco Funeral Home has served my family's needs for more than 30 years. They have always been professional, understanding and respectful in all dealings for my family. I have buried my grandparents, uncle and recently both my parents with them and each time they treated both us and our loved ones with respect. Jim Marrocco whom I have know for more than 40 years has always treated us right and I would not think of ever going somewhere other than Marrocco Funeral Home for our burial service needs. You would never know that it was a business, they make you feel like they are part of your family and care for our loved ones. In light of the recent COVID-19 challenges, Jim and his staff knew the answers to all my questions and how to satisfy the state distancing requirements and yet allow for my mother to receive the respect and visitation she deserved for a decent burial. I would highly recommend using them for your burial needs.

My husband recently passed away while serving overseas. The kids and I were living in San Diego where he was previously stationed. But I knew I wanted to do the funeral in New Jersey, where our friends and family were. I have never had to inquire about, let alone plan a funeral before. I made many phone calls but I felt that Jim was the most knowledgeable and accommodating. He and his staff were able to navigate me through a very difficult time in my life. I was very pleased with everything and would definitely recommend them to anyone else who may be in need.

There are so many thing's that can be said about the compassion and care that Marrocco Memorial Chapel can provide. They treat you like family, from the initial phone call to have them come get your loved one being it from your home or another facility, from the moment they walk in you feel at ease, like a comfort hug and some of the pain is taken away. They allow you time to say your goodbye before they are taken away into the care of the staff of Marrocco. When meeting with them in their Memorial Chapel, it is like going into a house of a friend not a Funeral Parlor. They take their time and listen to your every wish for your loved one's final journey home. Care, Compassion, Excellence. In conclusion please consider this wonderful Family to take care of yours. Sincerely, a Very Very satisfied Customer.

Marrocco responded promptly during our time of need after my partner's stay at a local hospital in an area we were not familiar with. Their staff was courteous and sensitive to our needs, explaining the necessary process along the way, and their services were very competitively priced. They even provided helpful advice for our own less-formal memorial plans after cremation. I would definitely recommend reaching out to them if you find yourself with a similar need in the Clifton area. Thank you!
