Our brother, Jerome “Norman” Decker’s funeral was arranged by the Bronson Guthlein Funeral Home. Norman was an active member of the American Legion Joyce Kilmer post in Milltown. When I contacted the Commander, Ron Dixon, he suggested that we contact Bronson funeral home because of the special care they provide to Servicemen (women) and to First Responders. The coffin the funeral home provided us at no charge was beautiful and embellished with American flags. They contacted the American Legion who came to the wake and provided a service dedicated to Norman that was heartfelt and respectful. Bronson also arranged for two Servicemen who met us at graveside, played taps, and folded the flag that they presented to us.
Chris made the funeral arrangements seem effortless. John and Chris were considerate of our wishes and provided professional care and support.
Thank you from the entire Decker family.

We are glad that we reached out to Bronson and Guthlein Funeral Home to help us plan the final arrangements for my husband in a extremely difficult pandemic. John, Christopher and their team understood our needs and handled all the arrangements way beyond our expectations which allowed us to say our goodbyes in the best possible way at the peak of pandemic. Thank you Bronson and Guthlein Funeral Home team. We will always be grateful for the kindness shown and all of your assistance and support.

John and Christopher listened intently to our wishes. They offered gentle, expert advice and guidance. Their handling of the planning down to the smallest detail was remarkable. John and Christopher's professionalism and kindness offered much comfort during this difficult time.

I am so thankful I crossed paths with John McNamara and Bronson and Guthlein Funeral Home. My father passed and being his only living relative, I had to take care of everything myself. There were no pre arrangements or funds to help me with this, so I had to raise money to cover the funeral expenses. Another funeral home I was in touch with basically told me they couldn’t do it for any less and I reached out to John. He was so helpful and worked with us to make it happen. And it turned out beautiful!!! Couldn’t have done it without you guys, thank you ❤️

My siblings and I are so grateful for the professionalism, flexibility and care John and his team gave our father. They went above and beyond in assisting us and guiding us through the entire process. Words cannot fully express our gratitude. We were able to have our closure and seeing everything come together so beautifully, I know my father’s last wishes were honored thanks to the Bronson & Guthlein team.

Bronson and Guthlein Funeral Home was absolutely wonderful in helping us plan the final arrangements and deal with the unexpected loss of my sister. John and Christopher, along with their team, were there for us throughout the entire process and handled all the planned and unexpected arrangements seamlessly allowing us to focus on saying our goodbyes in the best way we could have. Thank you Bronson and Guthlein Funeral Home, we will forever be grateful for all of your assistance and support.

Through a recommendation of an out-of-state funeral director, we found John McNamara and Bronson and Guthlein Funeral Home. From the initial phone conversation, I knew that John would take care of the needs of my family as we coped with the loss of a 7 week old baby. John was incredibly compassionate and anticipated the needs of the family, walking us through the decisions that were needed, but taking away any of the burden that he could. His compassionate care of the family led to other family members saying that they wanted him to handle their own funerals. We are a multi-cultural family and John went above and beyond to ensure that all faiths were accommodated. I cannot speak highly enough of the care and compassion we received by John and Bronson and Guthlein.

Thank you to your whole team that made our fathers service so special! Special thanks to Kathleen for finding my phone and for interacting with my family and friends in her fun way!

The people who work here treat your family with kindness and have a gentle helping way about them. During a time of need, they made it easy. They treated our loved one with respect and from the first phone call we felt safe and taken care of. Highly recommend this funeral home to anyone who is going through a loss.
