Vander May Wayne Colonial Funeral Home, Inc.

We just had my mother-in-law's funeral at Vander May Colonial Funeral Home in Wayne, NJ. We cannot thank Rich, Elyse, Ken, and the entire staff enough for going above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect. Their professionalism, warmth, congeniality, and hospitality well exceeded our expectations. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything!

Played keyboard/piano before and after service for many family, friends and others. This way the deceased can select what they want played and sung. Because the chapel seats quite a few people, we had services where the “whole congregation” sang. Just beautiful! I still perform at some funeral services here and there as well as an ongoingorganist in my own church locally.

As a family we would like to thank the Cliff and Ken for the wonderful service they provided for our father's funeral. They made the process very seamless and took care of the logistics. They also proveded guidance and all the next steps that we had take. They were on time for the service and made sure the whole church was set up with pics of my dad. Death and funerals are never easy but I would highly recommend Vander May, you can't go wrong.
Thank you Cliff and Ken

I can't express enough gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Vander May Funeral Home, particularly by Ken. He delivered white glove service for my mother Magda's service, ensuring that every detail was meticulously taken care of. Ken and his team went above and beyond to make everything perfect, ensuring a beautiful tribute to my mother. I wholeheartedly recommend Ken and Vander May to anyone seeking to honor their loved ones with utmost care and respect.

Go here for a funeral for your loved one! Charlie and the staff did an amazing job working with me through this difficult process. The constant graceful communication and patience despite all my questions at all hours of the night and many requests was greatly appreciated. I was worried that I wouldn’t have sufficient photos collages and they went above and beyond even surprising me with custom creations that I will likely frame or use again at an annual memorial celebration. The attention to detail and quality helped to facilitate a beautiful tribute to my father. While the process felt like an intense wedding to plan, Charlie directed the process with grace and tact each step of the way providing me with some comfort and reassurance as I wanted perfection for this final walk down the aisle with my dad. The Cemetary and church were also coordinated by Charlie and he made this easy as there were multiple moving pieces. The morning of I was a little upset because the posters I printed were too large and weren’t laying right but Gareth went to the rescue and was able to trim the edge and posted it so it would be perfect. I loved the photo handout for all guests and the laminated cards and laminated obituary. Even the donation cards were a nice touch. They provided me with an extra glass bowl so I could supply gum for guests and accommodated my every need and question. I loved the program and directions that were provided to the guests. Also, they packaged up everything in a neat bag with a bow. This place is top notch and I’m SO GLAD I put my trust in Charlie and the staff at Vander May! Thank you for a beautiful day to remember my dad!
