Sunnyside Funeral & Cremation

Sunnyside Funeral & Cremation, located at 11667 Southeast Stevens Road in Happy Valley, Oregon, is a compassionate and full-service funeral home that has been serving the Portland metro area for decades. The funeral home is co-located with Sunnyside Memorial Gardens, a serene six-acre cemetery that offers beautiful grounds, including prize-winning roses, winding paths, and lush trees. Together, they provide a peaceful setting for reflection and remembrance. The property has a rich history: it joined the Little Chapel of the Chimes network in 1990, at which point the chapel facility was expanded and the site transformed into a full-service funeral and reception operation. The location has operated under the name Sunnyside Funeral & Cremation since 2021, while continuing to uphold a tradition of personalized and respectful care.

The facility features a warm, non-dreary atmosphere with an on-site chapel, a reception and event center with open vaulted ceilings, a deck overlooking an adjacent creek, and audiovisual equipment for livestreaming and video productions. A distinctive carillon tower adds architectural character to the property. The funeral home is fully wheelchair accessible, including entrance, parking lot, restroom, and seating, and is LGBTQ+ friendly. Accessibility features and language assistance are available to ensure all families feel welcome.

Sunnyside Funeral & Cremation offers a comprehensive range of services, including traditional burial and cremation services, funeral and memorial services, celebration of life events, catered receptions, and veteran funeral specialists who can arrange military honors. They also provide pre-planning options such as funeral preplanning and prepaid cremation, allowing families to lock in costs and arrange services in advance for peace of mind. Additional services include identification viewings, private viewings, certified celebrant services, aftercare and grief support, free online obituaries, and custom headstones, cremation urns, and keepsakes. For those seeking eco-friendly alternatives, human composting (natural organic reduction) and aquamation (water cremation) are available through partner providers. Ash scattering assistance and parting stones are also offered.
