In an effort to help slow the spread of COVID-19 in Oregon and protect employees and the public, the Oregon Mortuary and Cemetery Board staff will be changing the way we provide services at our office. Starting Wednesday, March 25, 2020, the OMCB office will remain open but will be closed to the general public. We will have a staff member in the office on a limited basis Monday- Wednesday and all OMCB staff will be available by phone and email throughout the work week. If necessary, in-person interactions between staff and the public can be made by appointment only. Please contact us if you have questions.

Over the last 18 months, the Board has been working hard to modernize our licensing database- and we’re happy to announce our new Self-Service Portal! Using the portal, anyone can search through individual licensees, file a complaint, or apply for an individual license. Additionally, current individual licensees have access to new tools to manage their license. Licensed facilities will have access to these tools in the coming months.

The Board has passed a temporary rule allowing permission for licensed funeral establishments to inter remains in non-operating cemeteries. In accordance with OAR 830-030-0003, if a dedicated cemetery is in receivership, bankruptcy, or abandoned and there is a pre-existing right of interment, a licensed funeral establishment may conduct that interment after first obtaining written permission from the Board.
