Speaking to a limo driver in the funeral business said funeral homes always wish they had more parking. The bigger the better for lining up cars the morning of a funeral procession. You generally would add to your parking not sell it at any price.

You would think funeral homes would never go out of business but there use to be way more in Jersey City. A number probably have closed in recent years because the property is worth so much more than the business. Gone recently are Bromirski, Introcaso and Houghton which were around for many years. Probably a few more went out of business I can't think of.

The busiest ones left I believe are the 3 larger facilities mentioned with significant parking; Greenville McLaughlin and Riotto. There are a few smaller funeral homes left also but I don't think they are as updated.

Good research (neverleft) it may be part of that project. The funeral home also owned the property across from the lot on the other side of Homestead Place which runs between Pavonia and Van Reipen so it may very well include all of that.

I have no information on what will be built. My friends from the city and a realtor told me it was sold for well over 16 million so the development must be huge. Funeral homes in New York City have no parking so people are use to public garages. Though, here in Jersey City, there are a few funeral homes with more convenient parking.

As for on site ground level parking, it appears Greenville and Riotto funeral homes have the largest parking lots. I probably will choose one of the other funeral homes going forward as they all seem to have good reputations reading online reviews and from what I've seen paying my respects over the years.

Does anyone have any personal experiences with any of these other funeral homes?

They never did sell the building and now they are sandwiched in between the high-rise and Port Authority. From what I understand the owner of the funeral home did not want to sell the parking lot but was forced out because other relatives owned the lion share. The funeral home is able to utilize it until they start developing probably within two years.

If they validate that would be nice but probably not the most convenient finding parking in a public garage. Don't enjoy shopping for funeral homes but have to eventually plan for the inevitable.

McLaughlin Funeral Home on Journal Square has sold their parking lot to a developer. Can't imagine why unless they are planning to close the funeral home eventually. It's important to have ample parking when mourners pay their respects. What funeral homes are left in JC that provide a dignified service with ample parking?
