About Us

Our History

The Lester Memorial Home was established in 1954 in South River, New Jersey by our uncle Leon and our father Stanley.


Our father became the sole owner of the business in the 1960's. In 1965 he established our current address which continues to serve residents of the Jamesburg-Monroe Township, southern Middlesex County area.


Today as his sons we are proud to continue to carry on the traditions of service and caring taught to us by our father.


David and I believe that "Thoughtful, Personal, Dignified Service" is the hallmark of our family funeral home. The families we serve deserve our high standard of service and for that reason, nothing less will do.
