[GILL Kuri * OPRD]

To Oregon Mortuary & Cemetery Board Interested Persons:

The Oregon Mortuary & Cemetery Board (OMCB) is currently seeking a board member who represents “a cemetery owned or operated by a city, county or special district” – the term is a four-year commitment and would begin in January 2020.

OMCB’s programs affect those who have suffered a loss, those who make final arrangements and those who provide death care merchandise and services. It is the Board’s responsibility to license and regulate the practice of individuals and facilities engaged in the care, preparation, processing, transportation and final disposition of human remains; to educate the general public; and advise on relevant issues of public policy.

The mission of the Oregon Mortuary & Cemetery Board (OMCB) is to protect public health, safety and welfare by fairly and efficiently performing its licensing, inspection, education and enforcement duties; by promoting professional behavior and standards in all facets of the Oregon death care industry; and, by maintaining constructive relationships with licensees, those they serve and others with an interest in the Board’s activities.

The Board issues licenses, conducts facility inspections, investigates complaints, provides stakeholder education, and advises on issues of public policy relating to the final disposition of human remains. The Board also provides apprenticeship and intern registration for prospective funeral service practitioners and embalmers, creates and administers license examinations, performs background checks and verifies business registrations.

OMCB typically has meetings on a quarterly basis – usually the second Tuesday of the month – and we generally meet at the Portland State Office Building (800 NE Oregon Street, not far from the Oregon Convention Center). The meetings usually begin at 9:00am and last until late afternoon.

We would strongly encourage non-Portland Metro residents & ethnic minorities to participate.
