From the book "American Industries of New Jersey", published by the Historical Publishing Company, 1883

"Bunnell & Son, Undertakers, No.523 Communipaw Ave, Bergen, Jersey City Heights-- Among the representative undertakers in Jersey City is the firm of Bunnell & Son, who are located at No. 523 Communipaw Ave., and who are well known to the whole community. The business was established by Mr. William J. Bunnell in 1876, and was continued by him until 1879 when his son was admitted to an interest in the business, which has since been conducted under the present firm-name.  They make a specialty of furnishing coffins and caskets, and everything required for funerals, also hearses and carriages, and take full charge of the cortege from the house to the cemetery, and in the direction of affairs exercise a care and consideration stamping them the proper persons to take charge of them.  They also furnish coaches at all hours of the day and night, and will always be found prompt and reliable, and their charges very moderate. Mr. William J. Bunnell and his son George H. Bunnell, are both natives of New York, and during the time they have been in business in Jersey City have become popular as citizens and business men, and enjoy the esteem and consideration of the whole community."
