J.L. Apter Memorial Chapels traces its lineage to Philip Apter and Son, established in Newark in 1902. The current operation represents the fourth generation of Apter family funeral service, now structured as a non-profit organization—the only family-managed non-profit Jewish funeral chapel in New Jersey. Manager Jason L. Apter holds New Jersey funeral director license #3650 and personally oversees funeral details. The business model eliminates shareholders and management layers, with savings passed to families through reduced pricing. From every full-service funeral conducted, the chapel donates up to $500 to the family's synagogue or a community organization of their choosing.
