The Vander Plaat Memorial Home, Paramus, established in
1927 by Henry Vander Plaat, Sr., served as both Mr. Vander
Plaat's residence and place of business, until his death in 1994.
With the purchase of the Vermeulen Memorial Home in 1970
the Vander Plaat family was able to serve more of the community.

The Vander Plaat Memorial Home, Paramus and The Vander Plaat-
Vermeulen Memorial Home Franklin Lakes are two of the most highly
respected funeral homes in the state of New Jersey. The Vander Plaat
reputation for excellence is manifest in both locations, where fine facilities
and fastidious attention to detail are a family tradition.

The philosophy in these funeral homes, which have been chosen as members of the prestigious Selected Independent Funeral Homes, is that the rendering of funeral service is a "calling" -- one in which all families are deserving of care and dignity.
