The National Funeral Directors Association has named the James E. Churchman Jr. Funeral Home a 1999-2000 Pursuit of Excellence Eagle Award winning Funeral Home. This prestigious award was given to only 34 funeral homes in the country. Our recognition by the National Funeral Directors Association means that our establishment recognizes the importance of community outreach, funeral home staff training and community service.

Yearly, we host a Back to School Party. We invite children from the neighborhood to come for a day of fun, entertainment and refreshments. Last year’s activities included representation from the Newark Police Department, the Newark Fire Department, and Newark Beth Israel Hospital. Photo the Clown provided entertainment for adults and children.

Another annual event is our service of remembrance “In Memory of the Times We’ve Shared.” Families who we have served in the past are invited to come to the funeral home and place an ornament on our community Christmas Tree in memory of their loved one. We also have a service of remembrance featuring a local clergy person. The service of remembrance in held the first Saturday of December.
