Wright & Ford Family Funeral Home And Cremation Services

Traditional Values, Modern Concepts, Golden Rule Service Our mission is simple: To provide families of Flemington and Hunterdon County with comprehensive, dignified, compassionate funeral services of the highest quality. With an eye to the future, and our feet planted firmly in traditional values, we promise to treat your family exactly as we would like our family to be treated when facing a loss. Our roots extend back to 1860, when our founder Robert L. Ford’s great-grandfather, George C. Ford opened a mortuary in Elizabeth. It was one of the very first funeral homes in the area. Robert was born in Elizabeth and grew up in Union, NJ. After serving honorably in the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II, he completed his internship in funeral service and graduated from McAllister School of Embalming in New York City in 1949. He realized his dream of continuing his family’s tradition in funeral service in 1958, when he opened the doors of Robert L. Ford Funeral Home, Inc. on Route 31 in Flemington. It was the first time in Hunterdon County a building had been built from the ground up for the purpose of becoming a funeral home. In 2013, to further the funeral home’s ability to grow, expand, and better serve families in Hunterdon County, Robert’s son, Robert “Bob” Ford, sold the funeral home to our current owner, Daniel James “D.J.” Wright in 2013. Bob still remains a part of our caring team. We work together to continue the legacy of excellent, family-focused service that began so long ago.
