Under new ownership:
Please don't support this business that spews toxic smoke and particulates directly over my child's elementary school. The school's playground and garden are less than a block from this dead-body furnace. The kids, especially, don't deserve such an assault on their growing bodies.

We have the right to clean air. Do not support this business.:
Cremation and Burial Care of Oregon is a public nuisance in the Montavilla neighborhood. They operate an industrial crematory in a residential area which runs practically non-stop, during weekdays and weekends. It's loud, emits a grey smoke of human ashes, and a strange toxic smelling odor in the air.
People who live in the neighborhood and surrounding areas are currently affected by this company's negligent business practices. There's a large community garden at Vestal school and many neighbors have backyard gardens in the area. Invisible ashes and by-products of the crematory are mostly likely landing on plants. The neighborhood never gets relief from the constant loud noise, human ashes, and nauseous smell produced by Cremation and Burial Care of Oregon.
The Montavilla neighborhood has the right to clean air. We highly encourage you or your family not to support this business.

This business is a bad neighbor:
This business is no longer called Farnstrom Gable - it is owned by another company (one that is based on the east coast). They are located in a residential neighborhood and, unlike the former owners, do not have any respect for the people who live in this neighborhood. Yesterday, they attempted to install crematorium without getting an environmental impact study or even legal construction permits. We caught the attempt and the city inspector stopped it. However, we believe the still intend on building a crematorium furnace right in the middle of our neighborhood, across from a church and a school. Please do not do business with these people.

Beware:
This business is NO LONGER OWNED by the Farnstroms. So anything said about them being in business here since 1917 is bull. They haven't been. Alex is a very caring man. Not sure about the new owners, but if they are passing themselves off as "Alex" that's just wrong
