3. Funeral Homes Albany OR Quite often funerals are a time in which you have many questions, or would like to be sure to memorialize your loved one properly.

4. Cremation Albany OR There are two facets of the design process. First, we ask you to consider how you wish to honor and celebrate the life. When those important decisions are made, we’ll turn to the issue of how you wish to care for the physical remains. It’s about bringing those you love together, at a time of loss. It’s a natural thing to do, and over time, has become a socially-expected practice. More importantly, a funeral or memorial service, whether traditional, or contemporary, is the first step in healing.

5. Funeral Arrangements Albany OR You can have your service anywhere, and any way, you want. Your choices include the place of celebration, day of the week, and time of day; the musical selection, what prayers will be said or songs you’d like sung.

We’re here to help you create the most memorable and meaningful service to honor your loved one.

6. cremation Albany OR Your next consideration focuses on choosing between burial and cremation. Usually, people are clear on this point. In fact, your loved one may have told you, or someone else, exactly how they wish to be cared for. But it can be a hard decision for some families, especially when the wishes of the deceased were never clearly stated. If that's the case, please know we're able to help you come to the perfect decision for your loved one, and for you. Once you decide, the finer details come into focus. If you've chosen burial, then selection of the casket, vault, and desired cemetery follows. Naturally, we’re here to help you. If cremation is your choice, then you'll need to make the next decision: whether the cremated remains will be placed in a mausoleum niche, or buried on the cemetery grounds.

7. Funeral Home Albany OR Our History AAsum Funeral Home was founded in 1962 by Tom & Bonnie AAsum. They purchased the land where the current building is located and began construction on a new and modern facility. It was the first funeral home in the state to offer a Hospitality Room for families to use following the services, for coffee or meals. Tom & Bonnie's desire was to provide the families of Albany outstanding funeral service in their time of need. Their goal was to treat every family with compassion and sincerity as if they were a member of their own family. In 2005 James and Kristal Dufour purchased the funeral home and renamed it to AAsum-Dufour Funeral Home and continue on with the tradition of outstanding funeral service that the AAsum's established.
