The headstone of one set of our grandparents is about 70 years old, and over time it had become…read morebadly weathered. Cleaning it wasn't in our plans for this year, but the death of a family member who wanted to be buried in that plot found us scrambling to improve its look. That's when we reached out to the Koch Monument team of Hackensack, NJ for help. We only had one weekend before the funeral to find someone who could attempt to clean it. The first company we called said it would take weeks so they couldn't do it. But then we called Koch Monument. We reached out to them on a Friday to prepare for a funeral the following Tuesday, and all they needed was a picture of the headstone to provide us an estimate, and once we agreed to their estimate they went right to work. When our family and friends arrived at the cemetery we discovered the headstone looked brand new, and stuck out from all the surrounding headstones which looked like ours did before the Koch Monument team cleaned it. And members of our family were especially touched at how good it looked. So we can whole heartedly recommend Koch Monument to anyone looking to have cemetery stonework cleaned. They did a wonderful job in a very tight time frame.

I thought I would wait some time before I posted my feelings to see if my impressions have…read moresubsided. They haven't. I am still livid at how Gutterman & Musicant completely failed my family and me at the PRE-PLANNED funeral for my mother. The Gutterman funeral director had already mentioned to me during the initial mourning period that it was a "busy weekend" and that we would be better accommodated at the cemetery chapel rather than in the Gutterman facility in Hackensack. I agreed, thinking that less moving parts would be easier to handle on such a dire day. My brother, sister in law, and I then met the director at Gutterman the day prior to the funeral to review details. We were told in no uncertain terms that due to this being a pre-planned funeral, there would be no problems...."It will go smooth as silk" are the words I recall hearing. It did NOT go smooth as silk. It started with the director not posting the obituary on the Gutterman webpage in a timely manner thereby confusing out-of-towners. And then once it was posted, gave ambiguous information regarding the actual name of the cemetery chapel, making it difficult for those not acquainted with the cemetery to even find it. Once the family arrived at the cemetery chapel, there was NO ONE from Gutterman to meet us, direct us, inform us, or otherwise DO THEIR JOB. It became a chaotic and confusing scenario. After 30-45 minutes, the hearse and a Gutterman director found me waiting in the chapel lobby, and asked for me to formally identify the body. I assumed the identification would be in a quiet, private, dignified area of the facility. Oh, I was so wrong. IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE CEMETERY, THE DIRECTOR OPENED UP THE BACK OF THE HEARSE, ROLLED OUT AND OPENED THE COFFIN FOR ME TO IDENTIFY MY RECENTLY DECEASED MOTHER. In the parking lot! With people walking by. I was dumbfounded. This is dignity? NOT A SHRED. Just all business: "Let's get this one done. We've got more to bury today." And, to add insult to this, this director then presented me with an invoice, and asked me right then and there to write out a check for the outstanding balance! I was shaking I was so upset. But, that wasn't the end of it. Once the entire group of attendees were ushered into the chapel, we were promptly told to exit, as another service was scheduled ahead of us. We were told to wait in the ante room to speak with the officiating cantor. She, too, was looking for the on-site Gutterman director, who now had mysteriously disappeared. This ante room had no amenities...no tissues, no water, nothing other than a mounted bronze shovel on a wall. Truly pathetic, and impersonal. After the service, the burial site was just as inattentively prepared as the dirt from the newly dug grave was piled on and over the footstone for my father's grave. No one made any attempt to clean it off, or to afford any dignity to those already buried. Despite the corporate name DIGNITY above the Gutterman & Musicant name, our experience was anything but dignified. Would I recommend Gutterman & Musicant to anyone? Not in a million years. Disappointed and still livid, not dignified.

Charles and Al handled a funeral on short notice for us. The funeral was not pre-planned. Their…read moreperformance was excellent and the assignment wasn't necessarily simple. The funeral involved transport of the deceased from NY, burial that was 40 miles south of the funeral home, and purchase of a plot at a specific cemetery in a specific section. Charles took instruction and walked us through. He did not attempt to sell us any unnecessary services and even pointed out a large discount we received because of synagogue membership. There was a minor miss of an obituary which the home resolved the next day, at their cost which they volunteered. The rabbi they sourced was excellent and gave a heart felt speech that captured the deceased. Did not feel they nickeled and dimed. Couldn't have been more pleased.

We paid good money for 'perpetual care', which seems to mean nothing. We have had to knock ourselves out, trying to get some grass to grow on our plot. Any changes made have not been for the better. All the trees are disappearing. The last straw was today. We bought a plot next to the road, to make it easier for elderly relatives to visit. Now the road has been plowed up, and filled with new graves. My poor mother, who walks with a cane, could not even visit my father's grave for Christmas. There is dirt and rocks thrown all over the existing graves, debris everywhere, with a total lack of respect for the feelings of families with loved ones in that area. If there was any way I could do it, I would move my father and grandfather out of there right now.
