Funeral Service is all about people
The community could not have been better served by anyone else. Ray Sheenan started
what can be best described as one of the top funeral homes in the country. His son, Tom,
has taken the torch and continued in his father's footsteps in the pursuit of providing
the best service possible and is always striving to find ways of improving and doing more
for everyone who calls.
Though he was too small to help out, Tom has been with the Sheenan Funeral Home from
the beginning years! He has been an active part of the Funeral Home since 1959. Tom is a
Graduate of St. Peters College in New Jersey. He enlisted in the US Army for two years and
graduated from the McAllister Institute of Mortuary Science in Manhattan with honors. He
is also the first U.S. funeral director to attain the degree of "Certified Funeral
Service Practitioner."
Following in his father’s footsteps Tom is a member of the Lions
Club and the Knights of Columbus. Tom has served as president to the New Jersey State
Funeral Directors Association and of the Middlesex/Somerset Chapter. He was also president
of the National Association of Approved Morticians and is still an active member.
Tom's staff of hard working and caring licensed funeral directors
embrace the same philosophy towards doing the most for the families who call at their time
of need.
The Staff:
Catherine Lawrence is a licensed funeral
director who has been on staff at the Sheenan Funeral Home for 17 years. She graduated Cum
Laude from the American Academy McAllister Institute and received the perfect attendance
award. After graduating, Catherine began her apprenticeship at the funeral home and never
left. She is married with three children and five grandchildren.

William Kennedy is a licensed funeral
director with over 20 years of experience. Before coming to Sheenan Funeral Home in 1985,
he had worked for a small number of funeral homes from Montclair to the Jersey Shore.
Before attending the American Academy McAllister Institute to study funeral service, he
was a graduate of Seton Hall University. Bill may be seen giving educational seminars to
Senior Citizens Groups, school groups and fraternal organizations. He also coordinates
bereavement programs for both the public and for caregivers. For many years he worked with
the nationally known Rainbows program at St. Luke’s Parish in North Plainfield. Along
with his wife Nancy, they are part of the Metuchen Diocesan Bereavement Program for
Children. He has a son in high school and a daughter in college.
Joe Soltis is a very familiar a face at
Sheenan’s. After an early retirement he began helping out occasionally by working at
visitations. Soon, he began doing more and more. Today he can be seen performing a wide
variety of tasks, from assisting on funerals, to making the lawn outside the funeral home
one of the best lawns in town! When he is not working, he is constantly on the move. He is
either spending time with his family (he is a proud father and grandfather), making more
improvements to his home or traveling with his wife.
