ASTORIA HAS IDEAL FUNERAL PARLOR
GIVING PATRONS MATCHLESS SERVICE
A R L S O N a S O N — Charles W „ Sr., and Charles
Raoul, the son— Funeral Directors and Embalm-
ers, Astoria, have attained a remarkable success
in their splendid new establishment on Franklin
street, between llt h and 12th, in their first half-year of
K
business, which started last January.
E N U I N E S Y M P A T H Y with the sorrow-stricken— the
G
heartfelt kindness which is the greatest good— to­
gether with supreme professional skill in the art o f em­
balming and the delicsite business o f directing funerals—
this is the simple secret o f their success. The Karlsons.
fath er and son,.are known to nearly everyone in ClatsojS
County as American citizens o f sterling character, leading
blameless and useful lives.
A O U L K A R L S O N has been in the undertaking busi­
R
ness eight years in Astoria, and his father six years.
During this time they were associated with another under­
taker. Having hosts o f personal friends, they decided six
months ago to establish a permanent house owned and man­
aged exclusively by themselves. Generous patronage has
more than justified the soundness o f their judgment.
I V I N G their patrons the benefit o f a 25 to 40 per cent
G
saving on caskets, boltght at wholesale prices and kept,
on display" for purposes o f comparison, and being content
with fa ir prices for all services, the firm ’s increasing busi­
ness is multiplying profits and their future looks roseate,
indeed.

The exterior of the home-like building— and it really is
a home— is painted-in cream and gray. The garage is lo­
cated at the rear, and a spacious driveway leads to the
street. The equipment includes a Packard hearse o f the
latest type.
Convenience and comfort were the aims o f the own­
ers in remodelling the building for undertaking purposes.
The Preparation Room in the basement contains the latest
scientific appliances fo r embalming. It gives no sugges­
tion o f a morgue. A fte r preparation, the body is lifted
upon an elevator to the Slumber Room. The Casket Dis­
play Room is nearby, where the selection may b e made
quickly and with privacy. The Chapel is a commodious
and beautiful hall, furnished with mulberry draperies and
hangings and fine lace curtains, an expensive and luxurious
Toupe carpet, Vienna chairs and cheerful decorations.
There are no dull or dreary colors or suggestions o f gloom.
The place gives an unusual impression o f warmth and good
cheer. The eyes o f the mourners on sad occasions rest
upon an inspirational masterpiece, “ Crossing the Bar.”
Seats are provided for 125 persons.
The Music Room is opposite, opening into the Chapel,
improving the effect o f the musical program at funerals.
The audience hears perfectly without observing the mu­
sicians.
' - v”
Adjoining, with a full view o f the Chapel, is a private
Family Room, where the bereaved ones can see and hear
everything without being observed by the audience. This
room is furnished luxuriously, with every, convenience and
comfort. The embarrassment o f having to ask fob things,
too common in funeral parlors, is eliminated. Everything
needful is at hand.
Charles W . Karlson, Sr., is widely known in Western
Washington. He is an eminent Mason and a member o f
various Protestant societies. He is one o f Astoria’s most
progressive citizens.
Charles Raoul Karlson, one of the most popular young
men in Clatsop County, w as born in Astoria November 16,
1897. He was educated in the public schools, o f which his
father always has been an ardent champion, and then re­
ceived a thorough business education. He married Muriel
Cullen at Portland, Ore., January 28, 1919, shortly after
his return from a year’s heroic service as a soldier with the
American Arm y in France. Mr. and Mrs. Karlson have
one child. Garth Wayne Karlson, born A p ril 25, 1920. Mr.
Karlson is a member o f the Benevolent and Protective O r­
der o f Elks, the Modem Woodmen o f America, the United
Finnish Kaleva Brothers and Sisters (U . F. K. B. S . ) , and
other Protestant and civic societies.
The economies effected by their services, the unexcelled
skill o f their work, and above all, the sympathetic kind­
ness and helpfulness which are above price on occasions o f
sorrow, have given this fine undertaking establishment a
distinctive reputation, assuring its permanency and steady
prosperity.
