A Network of Family-Owned Funeral Homes

The individual locations that make up Jersey Memorial are all privately owned by David Lee Hernandez, Jr. and his wife Stacey. Being privately owned gives us the ability to bring our families-first philosophy to the forefront of everything we do. In fact, Jersey Memorial was founded in 2009 specifically because David’s experience prior to owning his own funeral homes made it very clear that not all funeral service providers do operate this way.
Jersey Memorial is the most unique funeral service provider in New Jersey. Our locations have been regularly recognized by the National Funeral Directors Association with their Pursuit of Excellence Award for exceeding their highest standards of service and our community involvement. Two of our locations have been recognized as “Best of the Best” nationally, three consecutive times. That has never been accomplished by another funeral home anywhere in the country.
Our Professional Staff Is Carefully Chosen
Our people make us great. You can’t grow faster than the good people you have. Our core philosophy for growth both organically and through acquisition is great people. We are very careful to only hire people that share our commitment to excellence for families. When reading our reviews, you will often see families specifically mention the director that cared for them.
We Own & Operate Our Crematory
Funeral homes in New Jersey are unable to own and operate their own crematories in this state, by law. Because we own funeral homes in Pennsylvania, which does allow crematory ownership, we are the best choice for New Jersey families because every loved one always stays in the shelter of our professional care with no third parties involved. That is a difference you will not easily find elsewhere.
Commitment to Our Communities
All of us live in the communities we serve. We are active on boards and committees, generous with charities, and genuinely interested in being of service to others even outside of funeral service.
