Although Beth Shalom Chapels is new to the area and it is certainly not new to the funeral industry. Mr. & Mrs. Waitt purchased an old estate home property in Morganville and spent about a year converting the historic (over 100 year old) residence into a funeral home. "The homelike atmosphere was kept so our families would be comfortable." The grand opening was held in June of 1965.
When the funeral home opened, Marlboro Township had a population of about 4000 people. Over the years, the funeral home has grown to accommodate the ever growing population of Marlboro Township and the surrounding communities of Matawan, Aberdeen, Keyport, and Holmdel. In the 1980’s an addition was built on the building to enhance the chapel size and areas for families and their visitors. With the continued growth of the Jewish population moving into the area, Waitt Funeral Home has continued to provide both traditional and non traditional Jewish Services since its inception in 1965. At the request of several Rabbi’s, and prominent community leaders, the need for a full service Jewish Funeral Home Brand was inherent. Plans began for Beth Shalom Chapels which officially launched in November of 2018. Beth Shalom Chapels if a full service affordable Jewish Funeral Home Brand giving Jewish families an alternative without sacrificing service.
