McGuinness Funeral Homes - Woodbury

Our Information

Caring for Woodbury Since 1950

McGuinness Funeral Homes - Woodbury is a funeral home in Woodbury, New Jersey. It is part of McGuinness Funeral Homes, a family of funeral home locations serving the Delaware Valley. The location serves the Woodbury area and surrounding communities. Core services include burial services, cremation services, funeral and memorial services, pre-need planning, veterans services including military honors, and certified celebrants.


The Woodbury location was founded in 1950 by James A. McGuinness Sr. and his wife Marie L. McGuinness. James A. McGuinness Sr. was a lifelong Woodbury resident and a veteran of the United States Army Air Corps who completed his mortuary studies following his World War II service. He served as the primary licensed funeral director for more than half a century. The physical facility occupies a structure originally built in the late 1700s, which was later restored and rebuilt for use as a funeral home. James A. McGuinness Jr. obtained his practitioner license and assumed active management as licensed funeral director following his father's death in 2010.


The facility includes a chapel and accommodates both identification viewings and private viewings. The location coordinates directly with Gloucester County Veterans Memorial Cemetery for veterans services arrangements.


McGuinness Funeral Homes - Woodbury does not include an on-site cemetery or on-site crematory. Pet cremation, licensed grief therapy, and legal or estate planning services are not offered at this location.


Families at the Woodbury location frequently identify individual staff members by name in reviews, a pattern that reflects consistent, personal attention across the team rather than a single standout experience.
