Our service area covers Multnomah, Clackamas and Washington Counties in Oregon and Clark County in Washington State. If we travel outside of a 30 mile radius from the funeral home, additional mileage fees may apply.

We are a full service funeral home qualified and able to meet your needs in all aspects of final arrangements for either burial or cremation.

Except in special cases, embalming is not required by law. However, embalming may be necessary if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with a viewing. ​If you do not want embalming, you usually have the right to choose an arrangement that does not require it, such as direct cremation or immediate burial.

Gethsemani Funeral Home is a newly constructed building with our own embalming room, preparation area and on-site crematory​. Our licensed funeral directors are also licensed embalmers and certified cremationists and will care for your loved ones entirely in our own facility from the moment they enter our care.

No, we serve all cemeteries, both private and public, to include Willamette National Cemetery.

Yes, we serve all faiths in our community. However, memorial services held on site must be respectful and consistent with the teachings of the Catholic Church. 

Once the cremated remains leave our facility the nearest of kin controls the disposition of the remains. However, our funeral home was opened to serve the Catholic community and we adhere to the teachings of the Catholic church. We will not  promote or assist in the scattering, dividing  or commingling of cremated remains and encourage placement of remains in a cemetery.  

Yes, but funeral services may be limited on religious holidays and Sundays. However, we are available 24/7 to care for your loved ones.
