Jewish funeral traditions

Compassion is the most important word, and understanding the true meaning of the word compassion, as it relates to individual needs, is what has made Gutterman and Musicant a source of support since 1892.

Specializing in serving the Jewish community in and around Hackensack, we understand the customs and religious significance associated with Jewish funeral tradition. It is our unwavering commitment to you and your family to plan and produce your loved one's memorial in accordance with the Jewish funeral and burial customs that are important to you.

Planning ahead

At the time of loss, the funeral arrangement details and associated expenses can be overwhelming. However, planning in advance helps to provide a sense of relief, peace of mind and comfort for your loved ones. By preparing your arrangements personally, you also ensure your wishes are met to your specifications. Our funeral directors specialize in this service and are here to discuss your options should you wish to do so in advance.
