ALL FUNERAL HOMES ARE NOT THE SAME
We are finding that the traditional independent, family-owned funeral homes are being swallowed up by large chains
or conglomerates. In Washington County alone, corporations own and control 70% of the funeral homes, induding those
in the communities o f Hillsboro, Beaverton, and Tigard. T he remaining three family-owned and operated, full service
firms are in Forest Grove and Sherwood.
It may be difficult to know who owns a binerai home because the name does not change when a corporation buys
the business. Corporations rely on the goodwill the previous owners have established in the com m unity - goodwill which
was created by quality service, community involvement, reasonable prices, and the owners personal attention.
Forest Grove Memorial Chapel and Fuiten, Rose & Hoyt Funeral Hom e o f Forest Grove and Vernonia are owned
by the,Róse and Hoyt families. We strive for quality, compassion, integrity and value in the service we provide. If you have
questions or would like to know who owns a particular funeral home, please call us. We can honor funeral plans written
by other funeral homes, and we are always available to provide information at no cost or obligation.
