Cemeteries & Funeral HomesThe borough master plan identifies a small historic seven-grave cemetery off Oak Drive. Larger cemeteries and funeral homes commonly using a Neptune mailing address are generally in Neptune Township and are not presented as in-borough facilities here.

Municipal-boundary note: Neptune City Borough and Neptune Township are different municipalities. NJTGO treats a location as a Neptune City listing only when the physical address is within the borough, not simply because it uses “Neptune” or ZIP code 07753.
