Cornerstone Funeral Services & Cremation

Our Story

Since our establishment in 2002, Cornerstone Funeral Services has been dedicated to offering compassionate and ethical end-of-life care. We believe that death is a natural part of life's journey, and we strive to provide support and guidance during this often-challenging time. The cornerstone concept, upon which our name and mission are built, symbolizes the importance of laying a strong and ethical foundation for all our services. Just as a cornerstone determines the position of an entire structure, we aim to provide a steadfast and dependable service for families facing loss.

Despite advancements in medicine, death remains a universal experience. Yet, we often find ourselves unprepared for its arrival. When a loved one passes, grief, need for comfort from family and friends, and the responsibility of managing final arrangements can become overwhelming. Cornerstone Funeral Services was established to navigate these complexities with sensitivity and understanding. Recognized as the first green funeral home in the Portland metropolitan area, our funeral home is situated in a repurposed goat barn nestled in a tranquil setting with park-like acreage. This peaceful environment provides a space for reflection and remembrance, honoring the life of your loved one with dignity and respect.

Green Burial Services

We recognize the growing interest in environmentally conscious funeral options. Green burial, also known as natural burial, aligns with this desire to minimize environmental impact. We offer a range of services and eco-friendly products tailored to these preferences. Green burial emphasizes the natural decomposition of the body, returning it to the earth without the use of embalming fluids, vaults, or concrete liners.

Our Services

Our comprehensive services are designed to meet diverse needs and preferences. Whether you're seeking traditional funeral services, cremation, or a green burial, we offer a compassionate and personalized approach to each arrangement.

• Visitation: A time for close friends and family to come together, share memories, offer condolences, and find comfort in each other's presence. We can accommodate a visitation with the casket present or provide alternative options such as a memorial table with photos and mementos.

• Gift of Life: We wholeheartedly support organ donation as a selfless and meaningful way to extend life. Working closely with designated organ donation organizations, we ensure that the process honors the donor's wishes and proceeds with compassion and dignity.

• Cremation Services: Cremation provides an alternative to traditional burial. Understandably, families may wonder whether this option limits the ways they can honor and remember their loved one. We want to assure you that a cremation service can be just as meaningful and personalized as a traditional service. We offer a variety of urns and memorial options to reflect the individuality of your loved one.

• Eco-Friendly Cremation: We acknowledge the environmental considerations inherent in cremation. Our eco-friendly cremation process utilizes reduced energy consumption and innovative techniques to minimize its ecological footprint.
