<p class="MsoNormal">THE FUTURE OF OREGON CEMETERIES CONVERSATION<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">July 25, 1pm-5pm – Newport, OR<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries is happy to be joining the Oregon Mortuary and Cemetery Board for a conversation about the future of Oregon’s cemeteries.
<span style="color:black">Both boards have noticed a trend of the increasing difficulty of getting new volunteers step in and help keep up the continuity of non-profit and often rural cemeteries--whether a non-operating pioneer cemetery, or a small operating
one. With the high cremation rates in the Northwest, even the for-profit operating cemeteries are facing concerns of increasing operating costs for ongoing maintenance without the same level of new burials and revenue coming in as before. We want to compare
notes on these trends and any others identified by the community. And then discuss what roll—if any—the public sector (either of our boards, or other state, county or city) should have in addressing these trends, or, simply in helping if and when a particular
cemetery becomes abandoned. Melisa McDonald of Metro will be facilitating this very special session.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="GroupWiseView"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<a href="mailto:Carla.Knapp@state.or.us">Carla.Knapp@state.or.us</a>. The OMCB will hold its meeting regular meeting on July 24 at 1:00pm. The meeting will be at the Hallmark Inn.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

of historic cemeteries; and help obtain financial and technical assistance for restoring, improving and maintaining their appearances. More information about commission activities, the meeting and workshop may be obtained from Gill at 503-986-0685 or by e-mail:
