Funeral Home Serving Bergen County, NJ

Funeral and Cremation Services for Bergen County Families

Bergen County families turn to Frank Patti Funeral Directors for the full range of funeral and cremation care, arranged with the same personal attention whether a family lives in Fort Lee or several towns away. The team coordinates traditional funerals with visitation, burial and entombment at the cemetery or mausoleum of the family's choosing, and graveside services for a smaller, more intimate farewell.

For families who choose cremation, the team arranges direct cremation, cremation preceded by a funeral service, and cremation followed by a graveside committal, so the ceremony can be shaped around what matters most to the family rather than a single fixed format. Learn more about direct cremation options. Immediate burial, memorial services, and life-celebration events are also arranged for families who want to gather without a traditional service structure. For burial services, the team works directly with cemeteries throughout the county to coordinate every detail.

Every service can be personalized with tribute videos, memorial portraits, custom-printed programs, and help writing a eulogy or obituary. The team also coordinates floral tributes, sets up an online memorial guestbook, arranges military honors for veterans, and helps families ship or receive remains when a loved one passes away far from home. Families who want to plan ahead can also set up a pre-funded, pre-need arrangement well before it's needed. When you're ready to talk through your options, call anytime, day or night.

Why Bergen County Families Choose Frank Patti Funeral Directors

Frank Patti Funeral Directors is family-operated and led by Senior Director Frank Patti, a New Jersey licensed funeral director (License #2693), at our Fort Lee funeral home. The home has earned an NFDA "Best of the Best" recognition, holds membership in the New Jersey State Funeral Directors Association, and has built a reputation across 106 reviews averaging 4.89 stars for compassionate, personal service.

The funeral home was also among the first in the area to become fully handicapped-accessible, with accessible parking and facilities that welcome every family member, regardless of mobility. Perhaps most distinctive is the home's long-standing commitment to multicultural and interfaith service: the team describes itself as a multicultural funeral home for a multicultural community, and regularly coordinates civil-celebrant, non-religious, and interfaith ceremonies alongside more traditional religious services. That range of experience matters in a county as diverse as Bergen.

About Bergen County, New Jersey

Bergen County is the most populous county in New Jersey, home to 955,732 residents as of the 2020 census (an estimated 977,026 by 2025) spread across 70 municipalities, more of them than in any other New Jersey county. Its county seat is Hackensack, and the county sits at the northeastern edge of New Jersey along the Hudson River, directly across from Manhattan. The George Washington Bridge, the world's busiest motor vehicle bridge, connects Fort Lee to Upper Manhattan and anchors Bergen County firmly within the New York metropolitan area.

Bergen County's Diverse Communities

Bergen County is also one of the most ethnically and religiously diverse counties in the state. Italian ancestry is the most widely reported heritage in the county, with sizable Irish, German, Korean, and Polish communities as well, and the county holds New Jersey's largest Jewish population. Bergen County is also home to eleven of the nation's most heavily Korean American municipalities, led by Palisades Park, the single most concentrated Korean American community of any city in the United States. That diversity shapes how families in Bergen County want to say goodbye, and it is a large part of why multicultural, interfaith, and civil-celebrant experience matters so much here.
