Other Services

Basic Services of Funeral Director, Personnel, and Overhead
This basic professional service charge includes, but is not limited to: personnel to respond to initial assistance for service, arrangement conference with family or authorized parties, securing vital information for necessary permits and documents, consultation for final disposition and/or funeral-memorial services, placement of obituary in the local paper(s), caring for the decedent, coordination with those providing necessary and specialized service or merchandise, full or partial administrative/clerical services, professional licensing, insurance, building and utility expenses, property maintenance, equipment, furnishings, inventory and record-keeping. This fee for our basic services and overhead will be added to the total cost of the funeral arrangements you select. (This fee is already included in our charges for direct cremations, immediate burials, and forwarding or receiving remains.)

Embalming
Embalming is a chemical process which provides temporary preservation of the body and eliminates certain health hazards. A person licensed in the state of Oregon must complete this procedure. Except in certain special cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary, however, if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with viewing. If you do not want embalming, you usually have the right to choose an arrangement that does not require you to pay for it, such as direct cremation or immediate burial.
