About Krowicki McCracken Funeral Home

Krowicki McCracken Funeral Home is a full-service funeral home in Linden, NJ that is part of Service Corporation International, the largest corporate funeral chain in the country — which is worth knowing, as it means the business is not independently or family-owned, even if the staff who serve you may be local. The home offers pre-arrangement services and will come to your home to guide you through the planning process, which some families find particularly helpful during a stressful time. Direct cremation starts at $3,715, which is on the higher end and likely reflects both the corporate ownership model and the Northern New Jersey market. Reviewers give the home 4.8 stars across 186 Google reviews, a strong rating with consistent volume; families frequently praise individual directors by name — particularly Alvin Chan and Matthew Marini — for being compassionate, patient, and genuinely supportive throughout the process.
