Frank and his staff are fantastic and highly recommended. Everyone was kind, considerate, and gracious and worked very hard to execute our desires for my dad’s arrangements. Throughout the entire process, Frank tried to take every possible burden off our shoulders so we could focus on the issue at hand. This show of empathy and consideration will always be remembered fondly by my family.

The entire family was so very impressed with the way Frank handled the arrangements for my mother. From his immediate response through the buriel it was outstanding. This is such a difficult time for families, the compassion shown was so very heartwarming. Every detail was taken care of and made so much easier for us. It was all so beautifully done and gave us such a sense of peace during this grieving time. My thanks to Frank Patti and his staff for everything they have done.

I had a wonderful experience during a most difficult time. Frank Patti Funeral Home did such a wonderful job with my aunt who passed away. Richard Santiago was the staff member who helped me, and I cant say enough positive things about him. He was professional, caring, friendly, and couldnt do enough to help me. His suggestions for different things were so helpful. I actually felt like he was a friend of the family by the end. Everything was done beautifully and exceptional. The assistants at the funeral were so helpful, kind and caring. If I could give them 10 stars I would. I highly recommend them to anyone who is facing this difficult time. I am so glad I went to Frank Patti & Kenneth Mikatarian Funeral Home. Thank you for everything!

Exceptional Services. Exceptional People. Open, light, and comfortable environment. I have never been to a service or funeral home that I would even consider switching to. If you need to have a proper service, at the most difficult times in your life, you can trust Frank Patti for excellence.

I cannot say enough of the staff and the kindness and respect they showed while we were planning and during my mothers funeral. Frank and Richard were professional and comforting from planning the services to the actual burial. I highly recommend their services.

My 59 year old husband died suddenly in April. We had only spoken of cremation in our lifetime together. I had no intention of having a wake for Erik but the outpouring of support, I felt, should be met and his life honored.From my first phone call to Frank Patti, I felt supported by the services and staff. Eriks death was sudden and shocking and this was nothing I had in mind for the next days of my life including getting Erik from New York to New Jersey. It was important to me to have a location that felt like home, allowed for mine and Eriks quirks to be catered to and in an appropriate and caring way. Despite covid protocols, the room was so spacious and I more than appreciated that it was just our time there with no other scheduled wakes.Richard was wonderful helping me plan with no plan, with a kind and gentle lead. He and John especially, and Robert also onsite, attended to my every whim, change and ask, patiently, kindly and generously. They attended to our guests yet made me a priority. Experiencing such an unexpected tragedy, they made me feel like family.Joan LeFosse Paulsen

Frank and his staff did their utmost to make all aspects of moms wake and funeral run as smoothly as possible. Not only difficult time for myself but also in regard to the Corona Virus all the restrictions imposed on Frank and his team not to mention on myself and family. Also the use of Zoom technology to bring the Funeral Mass to so many of my family and friends who could not attend because of the Corona Virus restrictions was a great asset. I would recommend it to families for use in the funeral home for services or in church where permitted. Thanks again.

Generally professional and respectful.But I am deducting 2 stars as we were cremating my mother in law after a small service of only family members and opted for a cardboard coffin all for the obvious reasons. I cannot stress enough that not a finger was lifted to dress the coffin for presentation.They made it look like we were shipping her off somewhere.If you can dress a folding table with a skirt to look like a formal dining table you can certainly do something with your cardboard coffins. Shameful.

Frank Patti is by far the best of all funeral directors. He operates one of the most professional, first rate funeral homes foundanywhere. We knew that when our beloved Mother passed away recently, the only place to call was The Frank Patti Funeral Home. Every detail would be handled with thought and complete follow-up. Our Fathers passing was handled by Frank Patti 24 years ago and the professionalism and focus to detail was the same.

My aunts funeral in the time of Covid was handled professionally and timely. The familys wishes with regard to the service were arranged for and honored. I was very surprised to get a phone call from Frank saying that in dressing my Aunt, money was found in the shoebox. The honesty of Frank and his staff will always be remembered.

My family has their roots in Fort Lee and Leonia. Frank Sr. and Frank Jr. are well known to the residents of these towns and have been providing comforting service for many years. When my Aunt passed away recently, I entrusted them with the arrangements and our family was impressed by their professionalism and genuine concern that everything would be handled to our satisfaction. Thank you Frank Sr.for bringing dignity and respect to a sad time in our lives.

Preparing the funeral arrangements for a loved one is as difficult as it gets, but having someone as caring and professional as Frank Patti eased the burden. He and his team are compassionate and accommodating, and patiently worked with us throughout the entire process to make sure we were comfortable. Funerals can be pricey and they worked with us to ensure we had a beautiful, respectful funeral while staying within our budget. The attention to detail and care given to every aspect from start to finish was exceptional. I cannot thank them enough for making this difficult time somewhat easier and I recommend Frank Patti wholeheartedly.

My brother passed away early May 2020 from COVID-19. The country/state was/were in a panic and many business closed and/or were not able to provide services to full capacity. Richard Santiago at Frank Patti Funeral Home was most accommodating during this turbulent time in handling arrangements during the passing of my brother. Kudos .

Frank Patti (both Jr. and Sr.) and staff handled my moms wake and funeral services this past summer and did an exceptional job. During this emotionally painful time I was very thankful and relieved that everything went so smoothly. They were compassionate, professional, always kept in contact with me, and took care of everything down to the smallest detail. I also want to point out how beautiful and peaceful mom looked at the viewing, just like the picture we provided. The Patti family is great to work with, always going above and beyond at every opportunity to provide great service. I highly recommend the Patti Funeral Home, they honored my beloved mother Louise and our family.

My family and I wish we could give much more than five starts to Frank Patti & Kenneth Mikatarian Funeral Home. My father recently passed away and they did an excellent job with the viewing service, entombment and everything. Mr. Frank Patti, representatives John Calixto, Rob & Mike have been professional, compassionate, kind and caring from beginning to end. We are grateful and completely satisfied with their services.

We have used Frank Patti for several funerals and were completely satisfied. Both Frank Sr. & Frank Jr. & their entire staff were very professional & compassionate. At such a sorrowful time, they made you feel so comfortable. They handled all the necessary arrangements in such a smooth manner. Our Mother looked so lovely. They really take much pride in their service. We would definitely recommend this establishment!!

Frank and his team were true professionals, in every since of the word, at the time of my fathers passing. They were supportive and made a difficult time a little more bearable. Pop would have been proud of the respect he received from all involved. From my family, thank you for all you did, seen and behind the scenes.

2019 update - Still 5 star but should be more. My father passed away in May 2019 and Frank and his staff once again were spectacular. No detail was overlooked and despite incredibly windy conditions at the cemetery the military burial came off without a hitch. We are forever grateful to Mr. Patti. There are none better. 2017 original 5 star review : Both of my parents are over 90 and very sick. We met with Frank and made all the arrangements while my Mom was on hospice care. To say that Frank was wonderful is an understatement. When my Mom passed he handled everything perfectly. He lifted a terrible burden off our shoulders and we are forever grateful. I would not hesitate to refer anyone to Frank.

Frank Patti provided us with exceptional services during our time of sorrow. Our mother looked beautiful and at peace. The services, from the viewing to the burial, were all handled with much integrity and respect. We didn’t have to worry about anything. He took care of every detail, including setting up a beautiful venue at the graveside with our mother’s picture, some of the floral arrangements and the Greek flag, which was totally unexpected. The entire staff was professional and courteous and without any reservation, we would highly recommend Mr. Pattis services to any family that requires them.

I want to acknowledge the fact that Frank Patti Funeral Directors did an outstanding job from beginning to end with my Dads services. We were in a fog the day we went to arrange everything, and Frank made us feel so comfortable with his patience, understanding and guidance in making the most difficult, painful decisions we have ever had to make as a family. Everything was perfectly orchestrated from the viewing service, newspaper and Facebook posts, police escorts,, church service, and ultimately, until he was at his final resting place. Words could not express how grateful we are...We couldnt have gotten through it without you, Frank Patti!!

Frank Patti made one of the most difficult and painful experiences of my life -- burying my beloved Mom -- as tolerable as it could possibly be. Their care to detail was impeccable! After my first meeting with Frank Sr., I KNEW immediately that my Mom was in good hands. I cant adequately describe the heartfelt sincerity that Frank showed our entire family. And at the most vulnerable time in our lives, Frank could have steered us to spending a fortune but he didnt! To his credit, he was practical and logical, thinking of what would be best for my Mom and our family---NOT his bottom line. I can never thank him enough. In my opinion, there is no better funeral director ANYWHERE.

My father-in-law recently passed and we used Frank Patti Funeral Home for services. From the beginning to end, they did everything to make our life so much easier. My father-in-law lost a lot of weight during the last year and they made him look like he used to look in better years. Frank Sr and Jr treated us like we were a part of their family. They are professional and loving. They steered us in making difficult decisions easy and didnt make us choose unnecessary purchases. The littlest details like pictures of my father-in-law at the funeral home, church and burial and displaying the American flag and Irish flag by his grave are just a few of the many surprises that made our family very pleased. They honored my father-in-law, and we are forever grateful. I would recommend them to anyone!!

We used the services of this funeral home for our beloved mother who passed away unexpectedly, and we were very, very disappointed. Our mother prided herself on her elegance, but we were shocked by her appearance at her wake. Despite the funeral home having her picture, her makeup was done poorly, and the area around her mouth was unbecomingly swollen. Our mother did not look like herself at all - she looked terrible. The funeral director made other mistakes, but this was the worst. The funeral director also added additional costs wherever he could, which we found out much later when we compared our high costs to those of our friends at other funeral homes. We feel this funeral home did us such injustice at a time when we were feeling our lowest.
