AAsum-Dufour Funeral Home

Specialties

We are a full service funeral home and crematory serving the entire Willamette Valley. We believe every life is worth celebrating and each celebration should be as unique as the individual.

History

Established in 1962.

AAsum Funeral Home was founded in 1962 by Tom & Bonnie AAsum. They purchased the land where the current building is located and began construction on a new and modern facility. It was the first funeral home in the state to offer a Hospitality Room for families to use following the services, for coffee or meals. Tom & Bonnie’s desire was to provide the families of Albany outstanding funeral service in their time of need. Their goal was to treat every family with compassion and sincerity as if they were a member of their own family .

In 2005 James and Kristal Dufour purchased the funeral home and renamed it to AAsum-​Dufour Funeral Home and continue on with the tradition of outstanding funeral service that the AAsum’s established.

Also in 2005 The Peace Court Fountains, located in front of the building, were finished. The fountains provide families with a tranquil and reflective entrance to the facility. Then in 2010 we added an onsite crematory to better serve our cremation families
