Macy and Son Funeral Home- Serving McMinville, Oregon

At Macy & Son we offer a wide range of service options to meet the needs of every family. Funeral services address the emotional needs of surviving family members by helping to confirm the reality of death, allowing the family and friends to express grief, allowing the community to express its support, providing an opportunity for remembrance and by reaffirming religious and philosophical beliefs.

We want the funeral service to fulfill these needs . . . and we will tailor the arrangements for that service to your personal requests.

Service Options

Because the needs of each family are different, we offer a wide range of service options to meet those needs. Whether you select a full traditional service, or a simple memorial service, you are assured of our personal attention. The following service options are available at Macy & Son:

Caskets

As with other important decisions for the funeral service, choosing the casket that best fulfills your needs and wishes is one of your most personal choices. At Macy & Son we offer a wide range of choices and always allow you to make your selection in private. Caskets come in a variety of materials, cloth-covered woods, hardwoods, steel, copper and bronze. We make available a price list of these caskets before selection is made.

Vaults and Liner

Although no state law requires you to purchase a container to surround the casket in the grave, most cemeteries require some sort of rigid outside container. At Macy & Son we offer a selection of outer containers and vaults to meet those requirements. Again, a price list of those vaults and liners will be presented to you before you make a selection.

Flowers

Because flowers say so much and have a special significance at a funeral, we take special care in arranging all floral tributes. We are fortunate to have many excellent florists in our area from which you may select your flowers.

Marker and Memorials

The selection of an appropriate memorial is an important one. Because of the personal nature of this selection, we offer a vast range of choices. Our markers are made from the finest marble, granite, or durable bronze. The marker can be added to your purchase agreement here at the funeral home and will be delivered to any cemetery for placement on the grave.

Cemeteries and Memorial Parks

We are able to assist you with your selection in any cemetery in our area. Our funeral home serves all cemeteries in Oregon and because of our membership in Selected Independent Funeral Homes, we can arrange burials anywhere in the continental United States or throughout the free world.

Cremation

Many people believe they must choose between cremation and a traditional funeral. Cremation is not a replacement for a funeral. Cremation is simply an alternative which can still include an open casket, public visitation and a memorial service. In fact, cremation is simply an optional form of final disposition.

At Macy & Son we have offered cremation services for more than 50 years.

Embalming

Although embalming is only required in special cases, most families prefer it. When a service is selected with viewing and visitation, embalming is usually performed. Embalming is the disinfection and temporary preservation of the body. Our professional licensed embalming staff are highly trained and experienced.
