Ocean Funeral Home debuts
The team behind Bloomfield-Cooper Jewish Funeral Chapel in Ocean Township have launched a new business — Ocean Funeral Home. Below is a statement from the owners:
“Our building has been operating as a funeral home since 1978, serving the Jewish community with compassion and care. Over the years, we’ve witnessed the need for our services to extend beyond our initial scope. With the evolving dynamics of our community, including mixed marriages, it became clear that we need to cater to a wider range of cultural and religious backgrounds. This realization sparked an idea – the creation of Ocean Funeral Home, a place where our dedication to compassionate service could be extended to the entire community. After nearly two years of devoted effort, substantial investment, and love poured into the renovation, we successfully transformed our facility. In May, we proudly unveiled the completion of the project, welcoming a new chapter with the opening of Ocean Funeral Home. It is important to note that we are one building housing two funeral homes. Bloomfield-Cooper Jewish Funeral Chapel continues to operate and proudly serves the Jewish Community with the same dedication and reverence as it always has.”

The Mainstay in Asbury shuts its doors
Last November, Chef James Avery rebranded his popular Asbury Park-based seafood restaurant The Bonney Reade as “The Mainstay,” a hybrid lounge/restaurant that traded the large menu of seafood faves for a smaller, streamlined menu of bar food and cocktails. But recently, Avery announced that the business was closing entirely, leaving the large space on the ground floor of the Steinbach building vacant. Avery still owns Black Swan, a British-style pub located just down the street and also works as the sous chef for Celebrity Chef Gordon Ramsay on the popular TV show “Hell’s Kitchen.” Currently there is no word as to what may replace The Mainstay moving forward.
