Helping You Identify Your Burial Options

At Gutterman’s and Gutterman Warheit, we’ll listen carefully to determine your level of observance, as well as you other needs and concerns, so we can help you choose the most appropriate burial option.

Traditional Jewish practices affirm that everyone is equal in death and call for a return of the body to the earth. We offer simple caskets, and ensure that there are no nails, screws or other metal items, in accordance with Jewish law. In addition, we will not embalm a body, thereby ensuring its proper return to the earth.

We will be your liaison with cemetery officials, identifying any specific rules and regulations regarding burial or monuments. We can also help you choose a cemetery, if necessary.
