I recall reading or hearing that McLaughlin Funeral Home was offered a boat load of money by KRE Group (headed by Murray Kushner) for their building as KRE was buying up the other properties on the block for their JSquared project but McLaughlin refused the offer.

Looking at an aerial view of the area I wonder if the property will wind up like Vera Coking?s property in Atlantic City in the 1970?s she refused a $1 million ($3.5 million in 2018) offer. The casino developer eventually built around her house.

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.

Quote:

There?s 3,000 parking spaces in decks within a 2 block radius of the funeral home, including the big PATH deck right on top of the funeral home itself. Seems ample enough.

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?
