Youngs Funeral Home

Youngs has handled the arrangements for my family members twice now. The first was in 2005 when my mother passed away. My husband recommended them because Masjed As Saber, his mosque in SW Portland, has a contract with them. I found the staff to be helpful, compassionate and patient (patience is key because the bereaved are not always thinking clearly and may change their minds). Sadly, my family recently needed their services again when our 21 year old son passed away in Colorado. Natasha was very kind and efficient as she worked with the Colorado funeral home to get our boy back to Oregon. Youngs is culturally sensitive to the Moslem traditions of washing and then visiting with the dead before burial. Being able to prepare my son and then spending a little time with him really helped my family. In terms of pricing, death is expensive. The funeral home in Colorado did most of the heavy lifting, so their bill was over $ 2100. Our bill for Youngs was just over $ 400 (pick up from the airport, storage, cloth body bag). Members from our community transported our son to the Islamic Cemetery. Kindness, sensitivity, and compassion? Youngs has it.
