This was for pick up , transport to crematorium, and transport back to their funeral home, as well as memorial service for one night at their funeral home. No food, no drink. Corporate owned by SCI which is part of Dignity Memorial network. Absurd charge on invoice for a box. I would have The Mortician from HBO MAX do it, but I would not want David Sconce or the Lamb family to do it either. Thank you to the Teamsters Union for paying the whole bill and more! Ridiculous.

They offered NO…read moredirection to our wakes, didn't check in on us to see if we needed anything, NO organization, they rushed our immediate family out of the room before sealing the coffin saying "we're late we need to hurry". There's no regard for the grieving, no respect for the loss of life that we were experiencing. The director is an arrogant man who is better off behind a desk than in front of a group of grieving people. I will NEVER arrange another wake here again. It's a dumpy, run down little home in Syosset with awful lighting and out of date fixtures. Don't waste your time with these fools. Awful, awful, awful.

I cannot say enough about this funeral home and the staff and Director (and even the dog Jake). To…read moresay a funeral was beautiful seems a little morbid and inappropriate. but, that's exactly how I can describe my father's wake at Jacobson funeral home in Huntington. They went above and beyond in every little detail From the minute we walked in and met with them. They were comforting, professional, and absolutely amazing. even the little small touch with them standing at the door as we exited for the funeral progression to the cemetery- they offered a plaque for each car that said funeral and travel tissue packages. I've never seen that done before at a funeral. they truly care about the deceased and the family! Even if you do not live in the immediate area, I would highly recommend considering Jacobson funeral home. With love the family of Robert Peckham

Chris and his team could not have been more thoughtful, caring or sensitively attuned to what was…read moreneeded during the entire process of my mother-in-law's passing and funeral. Chris is likely to have attended to thousands of funerals, but there was no sense that this was 'same-old, same-old' with him. He was so in tune with where the family was emotionally, and was able to adjust accordingly. He was such a calming, helpful presence throughout. He has the wisdom of knowing that people's faculties are compromised at a time like this and guided us gently through each part of the process at just the right time, never invasive, checking in on what might be needed and offering just the right amount of guidance and preparation. Likewise, every inch of the funeral home and their chapels have been designed to make you feel the warmth, serenity and dignity you would wish for at such a time: The decor is elegant but homey; the background music is peaceful and settling; the fish pond and fountain in the reception area adds a natural, calming element, and of course, there's Jake. Jake (Chris's shadow) is a young, highly trained labradoodle who is the resident support dog, gently walking around, offering himself to anyone he senses may need him. He is a special soul and he loves his work. I don't think the process could have gone more smoothly. The chapel was beautifully set up and my mother-in-law looked so naturally elegant and peaceful at her wake in the chapel. They did an incredible job. They created a beautiful digital slideshow from all our photos and set up our photo boards and flowers magnificently. After the service, they packed up everything from the chapel and stored it for us carefully until we could collect it at our convenience. Nothing seemed too much for them as long as they could help make this process as easy and meaningful as possible for us. One final aspect worth mentioning: The funeral home allowed us to arrange a lot upfront, before my mother-in-law passed, which similar business services do not always allow. Once someone has passed, emotions are so high that it's really hard to concentrate on small details, which is required to plan accordingly. Being able to plan this all upfront was incredibly helpful.

Unlike many od the others who wrote reviews I had a good experience and had no issues at all. We delt with Christine who was great. She helped with everything and made everything easy for us. We decided on no service at the funeral home just a service at cemetery. Christine made arrangements for everything from 2 limos to take us to cemetery in New Jersey to all arrangements with deceased. Everything was easy and done with no issues. I think Gutterman's was great . I do not know what other funeral homes charge or to be honest what it cost to pass . Not sure if Gutterman's is expensive or cheap but they did do a great job. Thanks especially to Christine from Gutterman's for making things so easy.

During the most difficult time of our lives, from the moment we called and then walked in to meet them, we felt supported, understood, and genuinely cared for. Every detail -- from the planning to the ceremony itself -- was handled with grace, dignity, and warmth. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything reflected our mother's spirit perfectly. Everyone there, especially Gary, who we worked with throughout, was patient, attentive, and responsive to every request, making a very difficult time feel a little lighter. The facility was beautiful, peaceful, and welcoming, and the team's compassion truly shined through in every interaction. We couldn't have asked for a more thoughtful or respectful experience. The rates we paid seemed fair and reasonable, but most importantly, the value we received was immeasurable. Also, we had family and friends who couldn't fly in, yet they were able to join virtually via a high-quality livestream. Thank you, Gutterman's, for helping us honor our mother's memory with such love and professionalism. We will never forget your empathy and kindness.

The young man from the funeral home who directed our loved one's service played the piano and sang like a pro--he was gracious, empathetic, and quietly dignified.

Please move away from money grubbing funeral homes like the one in Canarsie that everyone goes to -- they don't care about you nor your family member. Harmony proves that you can provide an important service to your community without emotionally nor financially blackmailing families to pay for unnecessary costs. Their prices are extremely fair and their service and attention to detail is top-notch.
