<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:#31859C">The mission of the Board is to protect public health, safety and welfare by fairly and efficiently performing its licensing, inspection 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. In order to protect the public, it
is the Board's responsibility to insure that all of Oregon's death care facilities are properly licensed. The Board is self-supporting and derives its financing from licensing, examination, and a portion of the death certificate filing fee (not the fees derived
from the purchase of a certified copy of a death certificate).</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#31859C"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
