Our Relation to Cromwell Funeral Home
The history of Cromwell Funeral Home dates back almost 70 years when John Cromwell built the building specifically to provide the town of Hopewell Borough a comfortable setting for funerals to take place as viewings and memorial services were being moved out of people's homes and into funeral parlors.
The current owner purchased the existing property in 2013 at a distressed sale after the previous owner had defaulted on their mortgages and real estate taxes to the town. Shortly after taking possession of the property, Mr. Cohan, who had been looking to relocate to Hopewell and start a family, fully renovated the neglected building and returned it to the magnificent beauty and original splendor.
"I felt a commitment to the town of Hopewell to continue the tradition that was started so many years ago by John Cromwell, to provide a great product and service at a reasonable cost to the community", explains Mr. Cohan.
After these renovations, Mr. Cohan changed the name from Cromwell Funeral Home to Hopewell Memorial Home, then later added the name Cromwell Funeral Home of Hopewell Valley to remediate any confusion from Wilson-Apple, located in Pennington, NJ.
Unlike other Funeral Homes and Cremation Service companies in the area, Hopewell Memorial Home & Cremation is reasonably priced, and will never try to sell something to a family that is unnecessary, providing open and honest communication from the very first phone call.
The staff is "at your beck and call", willing to visit you at home, consult with you at no obligation, provide financing if needed, or anything else that will make this experience as comfortable as possible.
