J L Apter Jewish Memorial Chapel

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 117 years. 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 117 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. The locations of J.L. Apter Memorial Chapels permit us to serve those areas centrally, with ease of access to all airports, hospitals and synagogues.Our pricing structure allows us to offer funerals from $4695* (BUT WE WILL ALWAYS HONOR ANY OTHER CHAPEL'S CHARGES) including up to a $500* donation as previously described.We are family managed and operated and answer only to our client families, unlike other corporate and independent chapels with shareholders,partners or layers of management to pay, which increase the funeral costs. To aide in the logistical issues of arranging funerals, J.L. Apter Memorial Chapels offer and encourage at-need and pre-need arrangement conferences in the family home. This allows all family members, especially those unable to easily travel, to partake in the funeral arrangements without the feeling of any sales pressure.
