During a round of correspondence with another "lister", I see a need that I can address.with some addresses! Ha! Often overlooked, Cemeteries and Funeral Homes should be considered a valuable source of information. Some privacy rules may prohibit them from disclosing ALL, but most certainly do not pass them up as a source for obituaries! Most operations do not charge, but there are exceptions. Most prefer to receive the request in writing (Fax works as well!) so that folks like me who volunteer their time to go up into those hot, dusty attics can take the sheet of paper with them when thumbing through 75 year old record books! Here's a list of King County funeral homes. In case you are wondering where I hang out - it's Bleitz Funeral Home in Seattle and we do not charge for record searches! Keep in mind, we need specific dates. Our records are not computerized and receiving a request for a 10-year span is um, well, depressing. So here you go, the reference I'm using: National Directory "The Red Book", the National Directory of Morticians - 63rd edition - 1998 Chagrin Falls, OH. I have tried to update any information if I'm aware of it, however, there may be some businesses that have undergone some changes and the current phone numbers, names or addresses may differ than what's in the book. I apologize if this is an inconvenience. AUBURN: Price-Helton (253) 833-1165 Yahn & Son (253) 833-8877 - P.O.

I hope that I didn't leave anybody out. Some of the older death certificates will have smaller undertaking companies that have been absorbed by the larger funeral homes. Do some historical detecting! But here's a "Gimme": There was a large company called Home Undertaking, which I believe became part of Acacia FH. Home Undertaking was a massive operation during the 1940s-1950s that went under when the freeway was built. Good luck in your search! Cynthia Baxter
