The historic New Jersey funeral home where mobsters wound up after getting whacked in “The Sopranos” is facing a hit job itself.

The Irvine-Cozzarelli Memorial Home in Belleville — which was discussed and featured in numerous episodes of the HBO Mafia drama — could be demolished as part of a redevelopment plan recently approved by township officials, NJ.com reported.

It’s a controversial move, as the building on Washington Avenue where the storied business is located dates back to 1885 — and the local historical society doesn’t want to see it fitted for cement overshoes.

“The place has incredible potential,” Michael Perrone, president of the Belleville Historical Society, told the paper. “And so to tear that down, is just crazy, it’s just crazy.”

Viewers of the show will remember the elaborate interior, which was designed by late owner James J. Cozzarelli Jr., who started his funeral business there in 1972.

But since his death in 2021, his family has had little desire to keep it running as a funeral home.

“There’s nobody in the family who is a licensed funeral director that would be interested in buying [the business],” cousin Frank Cozzarelli told NJ.com, noting that limited on-site parking and the cost of needed upgrades have discouraged other funeral homes from purchasing the site.

“It’s a large, beautifully appointed home, and he took great pride in his ownership of it, and how he kept it,” he added.

“Unfortunately, time has passed and the property needs a great deal of maintenance, in addition to upgrades to current standards.”

The resolution that allows demolition of the site was approved 3-2 with two council members abstaining.

One of the abstaining members, Vincent Cozzarelli, is a distant relative of the late owner. Belleville Mayor Michael Melham voted for the resolution.

Previously listed in 2014 for $1.8 million, the building is now under contract with Premier Developers LLC. Depending on the results of the planning board’s evaluation, the site may be demolished for apartments as early as 2023.

The business was frequently seen and mentioned in “The Sopranos.”

In one famous scene, mobster Paulie Walnuts, played by the late Tony Sirico, warned against starting a gang war because “there could be a line at Cozzarelli’s a mile long.”

With that kind of history, Frank Cozzarelli admitted that it is difficult for his family to let go of the business.

“These are both emotional and heart-wrenching decisions,” he said.

“Our family’s so well-rooted in the town that we want to do something that’s fitting … as best as we can given the constraints of what James’ will says.”

The Irvine-Cozzarelli Memorial Home and the Belleville Historical Society did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
