M. David DeMarco and his wife, Paula, with the financial help of his parents and mother-in-law, founded the M. David DeMarco Funeral Home, Inc. in 1979. His dad, Michael was the general contractor during the construction of the facility, so the entire process was truly a family endeavor. He was educated in the South Orange-Maplewood school system, received a BA in American Literature from West Virginia University in 1973, and his funeral service education from American Academy-McAllister Institute of Funeral Service in NYC in 1974. After a one year apprenticeship at Leon J. Gerity Funeral Home in Woodbridge and successful passing of the state licensure requirements, he received his practitioner of mortuary science license and remained on the staff there for 10 years.
David was very active in community affairs while establishing the funeral service, serving as member or an officer in the Cranbury Lions Club, Jamesburg Elks, St. James Knights of Columbus, and as a lector and Eucharistic minister at his parish, St. James RC Church, Jamesburg for many years. He served nine years on the Monroe Township Board of Education, serving as two term vice president and two term president, seven years as a member of the Monroe Township Board of Zoning Adjustment and ten years as chairman of the Monroe Township Planning Board. He holds active membership in several professional organizations, including the National Funeral Directors, New Jersey State Funeral Directors and Middlesex-Somerset Counties Funeral Directors Associations, serving as president in 1983.
While still active as president of the funeral home corporation, David and Paula are more frequently enjoying world traveling, especially to Italy, England, Scotland, Wales, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Russia. David is working diligently to lower his golf handicap, and truly loves summer family vacations to Aruba, St. Kitts, Lake Tahoe, and Hilton Head, SC. David and his wife Paula are proud parents of Jennifer, a director here at our funeral home, Thomas, manager of our funeral home, and his wife, Sonny, and Angela, an elementary school teacher in Monroe Township, and her husband Peter, a funeral director on staff.
