J L Apter Jewish Memorial Chapel

Welcome to the J.L. Apter Memorial Chapels. Our philosophy was to create non-profit Jewish funeral homes with greatly reduced pricing, dignity and superior service in the Apter family tradition (as our great grandfather did when he founded Philip Apter and Son in 1902). Our family has served the  Jewish community  for  120 years. Our mission is to serve and financially assist the Jewish communities of Essex, Morris, Somerset, Sussex, Union and Warren counties by lowering the cost and maintaining the dignity of the funeral, while donating to organizations that serve the Jewish community and working with all families to best provide them an affordable and memorable service. From every full service funeral that J.L. Apter Memorial Chapels conducts, we donate up to $500* to either the family’s synagogue or an organization of the family’s choosing in our community.
