Inspiration of a lifetime

Tell us about an inimitable style, a passionate pursuit or lifelong dedication to a hobby, and the team of professional funeral directors at Evergreen Funeral Home will weave personalized details into a moving tribute.

Imagine a night under the stars held in honor of your family’s amateur astronomer, with professionally catered refreshments served alongside a telescope turned toward the sky. Envision one last cruise-in for the hot rodder who spent every spare moment in the garage, with a high-horsepower escort for the funeral coach. When it comes to creating the perfect personalized service, your imagination is the limit.

Choose a contemporary celebration of life or a traditional religious ceremony—or integrate elements of both to create your own personalized fit. We are well-versed in arranging funerals with military honors. Our interfaith chapel welcomes celebrants of all faiths and our meticulous team takes care of every detail so you can spend more time with those who matter most.

Cremation services in Seattle

We specialize in cremation services that honor loved ones in personalized ways, and families love our transparent pricing. With expertise in scattering ashes and a friendly team who pays attention to every detail, we provide service that is second to none. And now we offer both traditional flame cremation and water cremation.

More and more people are choosing cremation over traditional burial, but most aren’t familiar with the many options:

• a cremation without a funeral or memorial service of any kind.
• a funeral with your loved one present, followed by cremation.
• a cremation followed by a scattering, cemetery memorialization or celebration of life—or all three.

For those who wish for a more momentous memorial, Neptune Memorial Reef^® is an underwater cremation garden off the coast of Florida. A Celestis Memorial Spaceflight takes ashes into space for a little while or forever.

There are many cremation providers—and they're not all equal. Here's what you can expect when you choose us for your loved one's cremation:

• Custody of care guaranteed. Our custody-of-care program helps safeguard the identification of your loved one from the time we bring them into our care until the time we return them to your family. We check, cross-check and check again, every step of the way.
• Exclusive custody of your loved one. We use only crematories owned and operated by Dignity Memorial^® providers or trusted partners. Once your loved one is in our custody or that of a trusted partner, they’re in our care until they’re returned to your family.
• Licensed, certified, conscientious staff. All Dignity Memorial crematory operators are licensed and certified by Cremation Association of North America, or CANA. Only one person at a time is cremated, and the cremation chamber is thoroughly cleaned before the next person is cremated.

Now offering human composting

Human composting is an alternative to burial and cremation. Inside a vessel created especially for this purpose, organic elements, such as wood chips, mulch and wildflowers, gently transform a body into nutrient-rich soil. Your family may choose to use this soil to plant trees or flowers, or you can place it in a location meaningful to you. The remaining soil is sent to conservation land on the Olympic Peninsula to aid projects such as reforestation, improving soil health and restoring challenged ecosystems.

Evergreen Cemetery

The century-old grounds of Evergreen Cemetery have served families from Lynnwood to Granite Falls since 1898. Mature trees present their seasonal foliage across the 100-acre cemetery, with well-landscaped gardens that host both in-ground and above-ground burials. Family estates provide a unique place for future generations to gather in remembrance. Cremation options include a scattering garden as well as inurnment in the community mausoleum.

Rucker Mausoleum—a 30-foot Washington granite pyramid resting on a stone-encased earthen plinth—welcomes celebrants with a door of Red Beach granite from Maine. The chapel inside holds a large dome with 4 art-glass windows. The mausoleum holds 22 crypts, with fitted closures made of polished Barre granite from Vermont.

According to a local historian, Evergreen Cemetery has been referred to as the "biographical encyclopedia" of Everett, Washington. Through the years, it has become the final resting place for many prominent citizens, including 2 U.S. senators and 4 governors, and more than 150 Civil War veterans.
