A S M NAS IDEAL FUNERAL PARLOR
GIVING PATROjfiMATCHLESS 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 o f
business, which started last January.
E N U I N E S Y M P A T H Y with the sorrow-striclftn— the
K
G
heartfelt kindness which is the greatest good— to
gether with supreme professional skill in the art o f em
balming and the delicate business o f directing funerals—
this is tde simple secret o f their success. The Karlsons,
father and son,»are known to nearly every°ne *n Clatsop
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 of their judgment.
IV I N G their patrons the benefit o f a 25 to 40 per cent
G
saving on caskets, bought 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 o f 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- -
ere in remodelling the building for undertaking purposes.
The Preparation Room in the basement contains the latest
scientific appliances for embalming. It gives no sugges
tion o f a morgue. A fter preparation, the body is lifted
upon an elevator to the Slumber Room. The Casket Dis
play Room is nearby, where the selection may be 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.
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. Thfo
room is furnished luxuriously, with every convenience and
comfort. The embarrassment o f having to ask fo r 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 of
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, was 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%horough 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 A rm y in France. Mr. and Mrs. Karlson have
one child. Garth W ayne 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 Modern 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 of
sorrow, have given this fine undertaking establishment a
distinctive reputation, assuring its permanency and steady
prosperity.
