It’s never easy having to lay a loved one to Rest but the good people at Gudes really did an awesome job helping me to honor my father and send him home. They really take good care and get things right. Thank you to everyone at Gudes funeral home.

If you’re looking for someone who knows how to do their job, this is the right place to come. Mr. Gudes as well as his staff, took well care of both my mother and my father and I love his work. Normally, I don’t leave reviews however I would highly recommend Gudes Funeral home for any and everyone. He is a highly professional and patient man. Thank you, Mr. Gudes, 5/5 stars!!!

My father in law passed away the day after Thanksgiving of 2025 and Gudes Funeral Home was so prompt in answering the phone. Even on the holiday weekend, they took time out and went to pick his body up. They did an excellent job. They were very caring abd compassionate to the situation. The whole team was very professional and on point!

The entire team at Gudes Funeral Home showed incredible kindness and compassion from when we called. We felt completely at ease knowing everything was expertly handled. My Brother passed away in 2020 weeks called Gudes Funeral home they did an amazing job that now my sister passed away we called them again. And because they were so professional and they went above and beyond we will always go back to Gudes Funeral Home.

The funeral home provided exceptional service for Tonia Simmons Harris’s homegoing celebration. The staff was professional, caring, and attentive to every detail. The entire service was beautifully organized, and the crowning ceremony was especially meaningful and heartfelt. I truly appreciate the compassion and excellence shown throughout this difficult time.

There are no words to express my gratitude for the peace and utter joy that Mr. Gudes himself personally has given to myself and my family. My experience with Gudes Funeral services was purely an act of God working out his perfect plan, in his perfect timing through a person and his purpose. My heart is so full, healed and whole. May your family and business flourish and become as grand as your compassion. Thank you from the womb of my soul for your care of my baby girl.

Planning a funeral for a baby 6 days old was the hardest one yet. Mr. Ronnell hands down if I had to ever do it again I wouldn't choose anyone else. He said trust the process and watch God work. All I can say is WANT HE DO IT. Thanks again for the amazing service provided.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Gudes Funeral Home for the exceptional care and support they provided during my mother’s service. From the very beginning, their team was prompt, professional, and showed genuine compassion. Their outstanding customer service truly made a difficult time a little easier. They literally held my hand through the entire process, ensuring I understood every step and felt comfortable with all the decisions. They kept me well-informed and made sure everything was handled with care and respect. I deeply appreciate their kindness and dedication. Thank you, Gudes Funeral Home, for your unwavering support. You made a challenging time more manageable, and I will forever be grateful. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need — they truly go above and beyond.

If I could call Mr. Gudes anything, it would be Saviour. I say this because at a time where we were so grief stricken and confused but needed to bury my nephew ( my sister in law's son) unexpectedly; he saved the day. It was accommodating and very understanding. We didn't feel like we were just talking to some man at a funeral home; he felt like a friend, a good friend who was going to make sure we were happy with the results. There were times that he'd noticed that we had been crying right before we came in and he made a point of making us laugh or smile despite the circumstances. He made everything seem less stressful, he was professional, compassionate, empathetic, and very understanding. I could tell that God has sent us to him for a reason. If anyone finds themselves in a similar situation where they have to bury a loved one, with Gudes, you're in good hands. With much gratitude, Roshonda M.

I would recommend any family that will endure the heartache of a death of a love one to let Gudes funeral home handle the arrangements. They accommodated us in any and every way possible. And the process was less stressful than expected. The homegoing service for my son was respectful and honoring to his short life and was more beautiful than I expected. We are forever grateful that we made this choice. Thank you!

Gudes funeral home was referred by an eastern star sister. I had an unexpected death in my family and called them from the hospital to make the arrangements. They were professional, respectful and personal. I was able to come to their business and handle everything in a timely manner. They were able to communicate with me through every step of this difficult time. They treat you more like family than just a business transaction. I really appreciated their kindness. Please do yourself a favor and go to the place that holds your hand during this difficult time and makes it’s an easy process for you. Many thanks Gudes funeral home.

Experts in their profession. I used Gudes Funeral Home on two separate occasions. In 2016 to send my brother-in-law, Willie White and in 2018 for my loving Auntie, Geneva May home to be with the Lord. Gudes prices are very reasonable something most of us can afford and like I stated earlier, experts in their profession. They provide a very nice place along with a caring staff and loving atmosphere. After checking out others, I felt Gudes was my best choice and I recommend considering Gudes if you ever need Funeral Home Services.

Mr. Gudes is an excellent example of someone who helps make a devastating situation into one that is filled with care & compassion. He truly helped make this very difficult and heartbreaking process into a more bearable one in order to deal with the death of my beloved father. He was very knowledgable, caring, compassionate always asking the right questions & even when I forgot some details he helped us through the process of it all. The way he did everything, the time he took to talk to us and the way he managed it all was very comforting. The time he arranged for me to be able to spend with my father was something I will never be able to repay, he knew exactly what I needed and went over and beyond to do it. All of it was amazingly done from the way he prepared my father to every detail of the ceremony, the safety measures during covid, the booklets, coffin, flower arrangements, music, timing, doves, my quilt and just everything was beautifully done. All everyone kept telling me is how it didn't even feel like a funeral but more of a peaceful & beautiful life celebration. Our family and friends fell in love with the whole setup & so did I, it is something we will always remember. After this experience I will always recommend Gudes Funeral Home to all my friends & family. This place more than a business is a true ministry, unlike the other funeral homes I saw, Gudes funeral home really put our feelings and consideration of the difficult situation as priority. I am for ever grateful that God put then in our path in order to put our loved one to rest.

Mr. Gudes and Team truly are in the business for all the right reasons. My family and I recently lost a dearest loved one. We found ourselves in such a devastated position. The death of our loved one was unexpected and sadly— we did not plan ahead. This was our first funeral for an immediate family member. We wanted to do the best we could... The way Gudes heard my concerns and those of my family was so wonderful. He did more listening than talking. He held our hand throughout the entire process and went above and beyond with making us feel safe and satisfied with the decisions and the funeral/service. Mr. Gudes— you’re heaven sent! Thank you so much for putting your clients wants/needs first! For not playing on our emotions and putting our feelings before the $. We cannot thank you enough for your patience, kind heart, and your compassion. Wishing you and your team many blessings... Please consider Gudes Funeral Home with confidence that you’ll be in the best of hands during such difficult times.
