Sweeney Funeral Home in Bayonne, NJ

The Sweeney Funeral Home, a highly esteemed establishment, has been committed to providing exceptional service and solace to families since the early 1900s. Founded by John Sweeney, an immigrant from Ireland, the funeral home began as a horse-drawn funeral livery business on West 12th Street in Bayonne. As time passed, John's two sons, John and James (Jim) Sweeney, obtained their funeral director's licenses and expanded the family business. In 1947, the funeral home found its permanent residence at 857 Kennedy Boulevard.

Following the unfortunate demise of the founder and his son John, Jim Sweeney took over the reins of the funeral home, overseeing its operations until 1960 before passing the responsibility to his son, James Jr, affectionately known as "Jay," who continued to provide compassionate care to families until 1990.

Currently, the fourth-generation family business is owned and led by Margaret J. Sweeney, a licensed funeral director in the state of New Jersey bearing license number 3919. Margaret, maintaining the strong community roots and a legacy of aiding families during their most challenging moments, guarantees that each concern will be handled with utmost compassion.
