I. J. Morris

I. J. Morris is a distinguished Jewish funeral home located at 21 East Deer Park Road in Dix Hills, New York, serving families throughout Long Island and the greater New York area. With a legacy dating back to 1888, the Morris family has been a cornerstone of the Jewish community, providing compassionate, tradition-honoring funeral services for over 135 years. The business was founded in Brooklyn by Joseph Morris, who began by furnishing horse-drawn hearses and carriages for Jewish funerals. In 1928, the family built the first formal, modern Jewish funeral home in Brooklyn, revolutionizing how Jewish funeral services were conducted. In 1977, I. J. Morris opened Suffolk County’s first and only Jewish funeral home in Dix Hills, a location chosen for its proximity to major highways, cemeteries, and the large Jewish populations of Nassau and Suffolk counties.

Today, I. J. Morris remains deeply committed to Jewish customs and traditions. The funeral home offers a full range of services, including burial and cremation services, all conducted with strict adherence to Jewish law. Their onsite chapel provides a sacred space for services, and they offer comprehensive pre-planning options, allowing families to lock in today’s prices for future needs. The team also assists with yahrzeit observances, provides resources for calculating dates, and can arrange shiva catering at the facility or in the family’s home. Recognizing the unique needs of veterans, I. J. Morris works closely with local veterans’ organizations to create meaningful memorial services that honor a loved one’s service and sacrifice.
