"If you have to have a good experience in death, Gutterman makes it seamless. Frederick was the director that was my person for the process. He was easy to talk to, and guided me with every step, and made it so flawless and made everything happen with ease. I needed a small table for a picture and he brought it. This all gave me great comfort. Also, when we did a quick view of the body, our friend looked absolutely beautiful and peaceful, just the way she wanted to be. Thank you Frederick and all of the people involved in the process of Gutterman and Musicant."

"Our family recently entrusted Gutterman and Musicant funeral home with the care of my mother, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about the compassion and professionalism we experienced during such a heartbreaking time. A very special thank you to Jacqulyn, who helped dress my mother and did her hair and makeup so beautifully. She was incredibly kind, patient, attentive, and caring throughout the entire process. She listened carefully to every detail we shared and truly understood how important it was to us that my mother still looked like herself. Although we did not have an open casket, being able to privately see my mother before the service brought tremendous comfort to my father, myself, and our family. She looked peaceful, beautiful, and familiar, and it gave us such comfort to have that final moment with her. The way everything was handled was so professional, compassionate, graceful, and thoughtful. During one of the hardest moments of our lives, we truly felt cared for and supported every step of the way. I would highly recommend them to anyone going through the loss of a loved one, and I especially cannot thank or recommend Jacqulyn enough."
