About Us
The Morrison Funeral Home, established in 1954 by William F. Morrison, Sr. and his wife Ruth in Butler, NJ, has a distinguished history of community service and family tradition. Following the passing of William and his son Timothy, the business was entrusted to James Etheridge and his wife Jean, who have continued to uphold its legacy. James Etheridge, a dedicated funeral director licensed in both New York and New Jersey, has held various leadership roles and remains committed to professional growth and adapting to the evolving funeral industry while maintaining the core values of the home.
What sets The Morrison Etheridge Funeral Home apart is its unbroken line of private, family ownership. Through the passage of years and the changing of ownership, it has remained resolutely in the hands of the families, each family embracing the responsibility of serving their community with integrity and care. The world has changed dramatically over the past 70 years, and the funeral industry has evolved with it. The Morrison Etheridge Funeral Home has adapted to new technologies, expanded their service offerings, and embraced modern approaches to memorialization and grief support. Yet despite these changes, the funeral home’s core values have remained unshaken
