We ensure all Veterans get the recognition they deserve
John R. “Jack” Zalewski, owner/manager, NJ Lic. #2820 of Fucillo & Warren Funeral Home in Manville, NJ and Countryside Funeral Home in Three Bridges, NJ, a two year United States Army veteran of the Vietnam War along with director George Rocco Seminara Jr., NJ Lic. #4927, a twelve year United States Marine Corps Combat veteran of the Persian Gulf War, ensures all veterans receive military reverence for their faithful sacrifices to our country.
Jack has always honored deceased veterans and their families by setting up a memorial at each viewing honoring their respective branch of service. A Military Honor Guard will be arranged for every veteran who qualifies (unless declined by their family) as well as obtain a government burial flag.
When permission from the family is given, every veteran’s funeral procession will be led by our hearse adorned with two American flags and an emblem on each side of the hearse representing the veteran’s branch of service. This will help recognize that a veteran’s funeral procession is passing. Additionally, every vehicle in the procession behind the hearse will also have an American flag to identify the entire procession. The flags will then be kept by the driver of each vehicle in memory of the veteran. “Our staff has always felt that most people do not notice the American flag draped casket in the back of the hearse. We wanted to do something
more noticeable. Something that would alert everyone that a veteran, one who has sacrificed so much for so many, has died and help draw attention to the procession, giving the veteran and their family the recognition and respect they deserve.”
Our dedication to the families we serve never ends when a funeral is completed. We will guide and assist in obtaining a military government grave marker or crypt emblem, purchasing a flag case to honor your loved one and provide a veteran grave flag and marker so your loved ones place of rest can easily be identified as that of one who unselfishly served our nation.
