About Higgins Home For Funerals

Higgins Home For Funerals is an independently owned funeral home serving the Plainfield, NJ area, which often means families work directly with the owners rather than a corporate staff. Direct cremation starts at $3,320, which sits on the higher end for the region, so families on a tight budget may want to compare local pricing before making a decision. On Google, the home holds a 4.9-star rating across 45 reviews, reflecting a strong level of customer satisfaction, though the relatively modest review volume means there is a limited window into longer-term or broader experiences.
