Watson Mortuary Service operates from a single location at 26 Gifford Avenue in Jersey City, distinguishing itself as one of the only funeral homes in the area owned and operated by lifelong residents. The business was co-founded in the late 1980s by John and Candace Watson, with Candace bringing her mortuary science license earned in 1976 to establish the firm's foundation. The staff maintains deep local roots—all are described as local residents with years of accumulated knowledge serving the community. The operation emphasizes accessibility through 24-hour phone answering and a hands-on approach where the owner remains present during visitations. Families can initiate arrangements through online forms for both immediate need and pre-planning situations, with information transmitted directly to directors.
