New Public Information Website Makes Oregon Home Funeral Information Easy to Find
Did you know that in Oregon no one is required to purchase the services of a funeral director or funeral home when a death occurs? Under Oregon law, families may conduct many or all tasks commonly performed by a funeral home, and may bury on their own property with permission from their county.
Many people don’t know about the rights of families to care for their dead—even many first responders, care facility and funeral industry pros. That’s why OregonFuneral.org, a new, free public information website, is being lauded by medical and funeral industry leaders as a much-needed resource for both families and professionals.
In addition to detailing death care law in Oregon, OregonFuneral.org walks readers through the practical “How Tos” of whichever aspects of after-death care they want to handle, and provides guidance in how consumers can get what they want from professionals they hire or authorities they encounter when a death occurs. The site provides quick links to get assistance, a glossary of terms, and informative stories of how others have cared for their dead and concise, professionally-specific in-service training materials along with resources for use in community education.
Oregon Funeral Resources and Education @ OregonFuneral.org is a non-commercial public interest website dedicated to helping Oregon consumers care for their own dead with or without the assistance of a funeral director.
