Community support plays an important role in the grieving process.

Sometimes it’s hard to explain and make sense of when we come together for the unimaginable.

Family, friends, and community are all unconditional roles. Through the best and worst of times, those with love in their hearts will show up for you.

In the first comment, we have linked an e-book. This is a resource you may find useful,if it applies to your family through this process.

We are here to see and serve our community in their season of grief with compassion and dignity.

We all have stress about meeting certain professionals. Like your dentist, your accountant, and your funeral director.

How prepared you are for those encounters can help ease some of the burden of those meetings.

I am Lauren, I own and operate Cusick Funeral Home with my compassionate staff. We can help you navigate SSI/Medicaid qualification, burial and cremation options, memorialization, or answer any questions that you may have.

A Somerville legacy built on trust since 1950, we are here to help see and serve you through your season of grief.

At Cusick Funeral Home, located in Somerville, NJ, we offer comprehensive funeral services. Contact us today to discuss pre-planning or custom planning options.

On this National Funeral Directors Appreciation Day, we take a moment to recognize the dedicated professionals who provide comfort and guidance during life’s most difficult times.

Among them, Lauren Jeanine Bowser, owner and manager of Cusick Funeral Home in Somerville, New Jersey, stands out as an exceptional leader in the funeral service industry. A lifelong resident of Somerville and Branchburg, Lauren graduated from Somerville High School in 2004 before earning her degree in Funeral Service from Mercer County Community College. Over the past 16 years, she has not only become a respected funeral home owner but has also gained international recognition as an expert in restorative arts. As the national contact for natural disasters in the United States, she plays a crucial role in coordinating response efforts, ensuring dignity for those lost in tragedies. Her expertise has also led her to Capitol Hill, where she frequently speaks to Congress about veterans' rights and human rights issues, advocating for policies that honor and protect the deceased and their families.

Lauren’s leadership at Cusick Funeral Home has strengthened its legacy of compassionate service, with the funeral home donating over $60,000 annually to local charities and civic organizations.

Being a great funeral director requires empathy, dedication, strong organizational skills, and an unwavering commitment to families in mourning. Lauren exemplifies all these qualities and more, making us incredibly fortunate to have her guiding our community during its most challenging moments.

Today, we celebrate her contributions and the profound impact she has on so many lives.
