Welcome Eric J. Anderson as the
New Owner of Hughes-Ransom Mortuaries
I’d like you to join me in welcoming Eric J. Anderson, who is the
new owner of both Hughes-Ransom Mortuaries. Eric is no stranger
to the area or to the Hughes-Ransom Mortuaries and has been part of
the family for years. Some may recall that Eric was one of the funeral
directors involved in the 2016 funeral services for fallen Seaside Police
Officer, Jason Goodding, when he was tragically killed in the line of
duty. Eric moved back to Oregon from Park Rapids, MN and has
been a managing the Hughes-Ransom Mortuaries since last spring.
Eric was born and raised in Fosston, Minnesota the youngest
of seven children. Being 100% Norwegian, Eric is very familiar
with our local Scandinavian heritage. Eric attended Concordia
College in Moorhead, Minnesota before graduating from the
University of Minnesota with a Bachelor’s Science Degree in
Mortuary Science. Soon after graduating from college, Eric
moved to Eugene, OR and worked in the funeral business 18 years.
Eric is the proud father of three children, Drew, Isabella and
Olivia. Eric enjoys the outdoors, golfing, fishing, hunting and
camping. Eric’s experience with midwestern traditions and west
coast experience is a great addition to the community. Hughes-
Ransom will always remain a family centered business and
continues to offer the same great service you’ve come to expect.
