You need a Certificate of Registration to have and operate a funeral home or mortuary establishment in New Jersey. If you have a chapel, preparation room, or any other facility at a different address, it needs a separate Certificate of Registration.
If you are applying in an even-numbered year (for example, 2026 or 2028), use the first-year application. If you are applying in an odd-numbered year (for example, 2025 or 2027), use the second-year application.
