| Helping Families since 1933 |
|
| On March 24, 1933, Ray Sheenan began the Sheenan Funeral
Home in a small one room storefront on Washington Ave in Dunellen. That one room was
divided up into three spaces. In the front area was the office area where arrangements
were made and all visitors would pass through to the single viewing room. In a small space
in back was everything else. In less than a year, he moved to Dunellen Ave where his
funeral home still stands today. |

| While much has changed over the past seventy years what has
not changed is the Sheenan touch. Ray Sheenan approached his calling with a rare
sensitivity and empathy toward families experiencing the most difficult of human emotions
resulting from a loss – the jumble of fear, loss, anger, grief and others. |

Though Ray Sheenan died in 1987, the Sensitive Service
families expected did not falter. It has evolved and grown with his son Tom, to whom he
had passed the torch before his death. Tom has been part of the Sheenan Funeral Home since
1959. He is a Graduate of St. Peters College, 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." A person who believed in supporting his community, Ray was
active in civic organizations such as the Lions Club, Knights of Columbus and the Elks. He
was twice elected County Coroner and spent 30 years with a group called Alhambra which
benefits retarded children. 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 still an active member. |
