    Michael I just wanted to say thank you so much to you and Ruckers Staff. Nothing compares to the level of service and dedication your funeral home provides, you're all very welcoming and attentive and truly show compassion. The Chavez and Lavis family is forever grateful.

    I want to start by stating that it is not easy at all to even pick up the phone or even know where to start when you lose a loved one. The moment that we contacted Rucker's mortuary funeral home is the moment that we knew they had our back from 0 to 100. From the moment they picked up our beloved Leslie and took her to their facility and kept her there until we were ready to say our goodbyes, We felt so supported through it all especially after losing such a great part of our hearts. When going through something like this the last thing you want to worry about or even think about is prepping and planning arrangements for such a life-changing experience . At Ruckers mortuary Michael, Vanessa and Otis Handled all of those pressures with such grace and proved to us that there are great people who have compassion and empathy for others in such heartbreaking events.They absolutely took care of everything from the moment they picked her up from the hospital to the viewing and the transportation to the cemetery. They took care of everything. The coordinating was exceptional! My heart was heavy with grief yet managed to smile at such beautiful arrangements led by the staff. Giving my sister the farewell she deserved. I know her spirit was watching and amazed at such outpouring of love. We are eternally grateful and absolutely recommend this magnificent Funeral home for you to entrust your loved one to them. You and your loved one will be taken care of with dignity and compassion.Thank you with all my heart Michael, Vanessa and Otis and Betty the Mortician for making Leslie look like a porcelain doll. I will always remember what you all did for my beautiful Lesly, her kids my parents and my siblings. We really love you all! Forever grateful to you all. The Vargas/Castillo/ Marmol/Nava/Gomez families.

    See all

    This company is a scam. Trying to charge my father for just moving his child's body one mile $800. Dishonest!

During such a difficult time, their compassion and attention to detail made all the difference. A special thank‑you to Jessica, the manager, whose kindness, guidance, and patience truly stood out. She handled everything with grace and made us feel supported every step of the way. Her dedication and empathy brought comfort when it was needed most. I'm grateful for the exceptional service and would highly recommend Guerra Gutierrez to any family in need of thoughtful, respectful care.

Jessica Ramirez, the Location Manager, was an absolute blessing. She was professional, empathetic, and always responded to my messages regardless of the time. Her constant reassurance that "everything would be okay" gave me such peace of mind--and she truly delivered. The team handled every detail perfectly: My mom looked amazing and peaceful; the flowers and service were stunning; the slideshow was a beautiful tribute; the live stream allowed our family out of the state and country to join us in saying goodbye. If you are looking for a place that will treat your loved one with dignity and your family with genuine heart, I highly recommend this mortuary. Thank you, Jessica, for being our light during such a dark time.

    Two years ago, when my Mom's health began to deteriorate, my family and I sat down to discuss what…read moreto do when that fateful day comes and she passes away. I mean, how many people really know what to do at that terribly emotional and shocking time? Utter McKinley in The Valley (Mission Hills, to be exact) had provided services for previous relatives, but that was quite a while ago. So, I called them. Besides getting a general price quote, I was told that, day or night, just give 'em a call and they'd pick up the body. Early last month, Mom passed away at a skilled nursing facility, just 2 days prior to her 90th birthday. When my Sister called me with the news, before I headed to the site, I found my UM notes. It was evening, but I called their number anyway, and a gentleman answered! He was on-call at a sister mortuary, but said he'd coordinate sending 2 Utter McKinley representatives to come for her. Sure enough, in a bit over an hour, the fellows arrived (they were in Pasadena at the time) and took Mom back to the mortuary. In a matter of days, we met with Erick--one of the amazing Arrangements Counselors at UM. From the moment my Sister and I sat down with him, he was compassionate, professional, and kind. He made great suggestions, and helped us make decisions (there were a lot of them); and, at no time pressured us into a particular purchase. Last week, we had her funeral. When I told him my buddy put together a Celebration of Life video tribute, he said to email it to him. He burned a DVD, and we played it after the eulogy and other speeches. Such a kind offer, and the family/guests loved it. Once everything concluded, Erick accompanied the hearse and family to the cemetery. Oh, an additional shoutout to Kayla--also one of the Utter McKinley Arrangements Counselors. She did Mom's makeup, and her artistry was amazing. Many guests commented on how natural and at peace Mom looked. A historical note: The mortuary has been serving families at the Mission Hills location (corner of San Fernando Mission Boulevard and Columbus Avenue, across from the San Fernando Mission Hills Cemetery) since 1962! Prior to that, UM was located on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood from the mid-30s through the 50s. My point is, this mortuary has been around for nearly 100 years. They do things right. When you lose a loved one, put your trust in Utter McKinley.
