Compassionate Care When Families Need It Most

Serving Newfoundland, NJ and the Highlands with dignity, personal attention, and complete arrangement support.

About Us

When Joyce answered the phone, families didn't feel like they were calling a business. That's the detail that keeps appearing in reviews of Stickle-Soltesz Funeral Home, and it's the detail that defines everything about how this home operates. Located on La Rue Road in Newfoundland, they serve the quiet communities of the New Jersey Highlands, where people know their neighbors and expect to be treated accordingly.

From the first call, the staff takes on the logistical weight so families don't have to. One family needed to bring their loved one home from South Carolina. They made a single phone call to Stickle-Soltesz, and the entire transfer was arranged for them. Another family, exhausted after six months of caregiving, found that the staff had already thought of what they would need before they had to ask. That kind of attentiveness isn't a policy. It's a practice built over years of genuine service to this community.

With a perfect 5.0 rating across every review, Stickle-Soltesz has earned the trust of families during the hardest moments of their lives. The measure of that trust is simple: people who have been through loss here come back to recommend this home to others.

What We Offer

Stickle-Soltesz Funeral Home offers full-service funeral arrangements tailored to each family's wishes, faith, and budget. Whether a family needs a traditional burial, cremation services, or a graveside ceremony, the staff guides every step with clarity and patience. They also coordinate out-of-state transfers, handling the documentation, transportation logistics, and communication with other funeral homes so families are spared that burden entirely.

Pre-planning services allow individuals to document their wishes and ease the decisions their families will face later. The home assists with death certificate filings, obituary preparation, and coordination with local cemeteries and clergy. Every arrangement is handled with the same attentiveness regardless of the scope, because for this staff, no service is routine.

Families in Newfoundland, Sparta, Wanaque, and throughout Passaic and Sussex counties have relied on Stickle-Soltesz for personalized, unhurried care. The staff's willingness to stay available, answer questions, and adapt to what each family needs has made them a trusted name across the region.

"While it may seem peculiar to write a review about a funeral home- but I see my experience as important. I cared for my mother for six months up to and through her passing. I had contacted Joyce and Todd when I realized her illness was terminal and she would pass in the very near future. I cannot describe the kindness and comfort I received from them. I have a young grandchild who lives with me and I did not want her to know anything about what was going on. They were so respectful of my request and my grandaughter went upstairs for her virtual classes knowing nothing. At one point I passed my Mom's room and I got a glimpse of them as they were silent and took my Mom in a dignified manner. I truly liked both Joyce and Todd both personally and professionally. I urge anyone who needs funeral services to call them as they make this awful time in your life to be easier and that is like a gift. While I can't thank them enough-they became part of the good memories. Thank you both as my gratitude is hard to express Mary Hollenbeck"

"My sister recently passed away and my family decided to have the funeral at Stickle-Soltesz Funeral home. From the moment I called to schedule a date and time to come in the staff was incredibly helpful. Todd and Joyce run the funeral home and they exceeded my expectations. They were so helpful, caring, thoughtful and so pleasant to work with. They guide you each step of the way from the moment you step through their door to the very end. Everything was set up so beautifully and peaceful and went smoothly which is what every family needs during that difficult time. They gave us a bag at the end of the funeral that is so nicely organized from flower cards to prayer cards and our keepsakes. Even after everything is said and done they are always there for you. My family and I could not thank Joyce and Todd enough for all that they have done for us. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!"

"We had to get our family member from out of state (SC) back to NJ for burial. Stickle-Soltesz took care of everything. All I had to do was tell them of the passing and they arranged it all. They guided us through the service options and helped us with planning. They were amazing the day of the services, staying close by if we needed anything. I would absolutely recommend them to friends."
