In 1932 Ralph and Marie Damiano opened their home to the community of Long
Branch. The Dutch Colonial style home was built in the 1890's and purchased by
the family in 1931. It was their hope that they could give the people of the area one
of the most modern and complete homes of its kind, and they did. Ralph and Marie's
involvement in their community helped them to understand the needs of their
friends and neighbors. Through the years, trusting relationships have been created
which have lasted for generations and for that we are grateful. Now, under the
direction and management of the third generation, the tradition of community
involvement continues. At the Damiano Funeral Home, we take special pride in
knowing that as a family, our
service to you embodies dignity and
sympathetic understanding, which
relieves the family of all the minute
details at their time of bereavement.
No matter how small or how large a
funeral, the Damiano Funeral Home
is prepared to handle your needs in
the
most
satisfactory
and
conscientious manner.

Embalming (including use of preparation room and sanitary care)
Except in certain special cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming
may be necessary, however, if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as a
funeral with viewing. If you do not want embalming, you usually have the right
to choose an arrangement that does not require you to pay for it, such as direct
cremation or immediate burial. If you choose to have an embalming performed,
the decedent may be embalmed at a location other than this registered
mortuary.
No human remains may remain unburied or uncremated in New Jersey for more
than 48 hours unless embalmed or refrigerated. (N.J.A.C.8:9-1.1)

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES OF FUNERAL DIRECTOR AND STAFF
Celebrant Services
As more people search for a funeral ceremony that reflects
personal uniqueness and expresses depth and universality of
meaning, our funeral home provides the services of a
“Certified Funeral Celebrant.” Certified Celebrants are
specially trained to conduct personal services for families at
the time of death.
This service is an ideal option for those not affiliated with a
Church or who do not wish to have a traditional funeral
service. Our Certified Celebrant can even incorporate their
work with your clergy’s efforts to create this meaningful
tribute which can make the difference between a funeral and
a celebration of the uniqueness of the life lived.
Ceremonies
Certified Celebrants will speak with family members as they
share stories and memories of the life of the deceased.
Through our many resources for readings, music and other
special touches, we can transform your memories into a
meaningful remembrance.

ADDITIONAL EXPENSES
Arranging the funeral ceremony and committal often requires
the funeral home to pay others on your behalf. We do not
charge for this service. An example of the people who may
expect payment in advance include the cemetery,
church/synagogue or clergy. Often the timing of the funeral
arrangements - hour, date, or holidays - may make it necessary
for us to estimate what advances you want us to make on your
behalf.
This list does not include prices for certain items that you may
ask us to buy for you, such as cemetery or crematory services,
flowers, and newspaper notices. The prices for those items will
be shown on your bill or the statement describing the funeral
goods and services you selected.

Consumer Protection Information: There are some monument/memorial dealers who, shortly after burial, contact the family and
claim to represent the cemetery or the funeral home. These persons will often attempt to sell a monument to a family, receive
payment, and fail to deliver, or suggest that there are certain requirements for monumentation and that monuments must be
placed within a certain period of time. There are no such regulations requiring you to erect a monument or inscribe an existing
one.

OUTER BURIAL CONTAINER PRICE LIST (VAULTS)
In most areas of the country, state or local law does not require that you buy a container to surround the casket in the
grave. However, many cemeteries require that you have such a container so that the grave will not sink in. Either a burial
vault or a grave liner will satisfy these requirements.
