Riverview Abbey Funeral Home

Funerals are designed to honor and remember your loved ones. Our Funeral Home in Portland commemorates the life and spirit of that special person.

Riverview Abbey Funeral Home in Portland offers a wide variety of choices for you to consider ranging from a classic traditional service to simple cremation without a memorial service. Funeral services also provide an opportunity for family, friends and the greater community to express their feelings and support to the immediate family and to each other. These rituals help people who have suffered a loss to progress through the grieving process and make a healthy emotional transition. Regardless of the disposition, whether burial or cremation, funerals serve a valuable and necessary purpose. The business has been owned and operated by the Griffith Family for four generations and continues its legacy of service. The Barbur and Comstock families also played a key role in the evolution of the business. The Griffith family has ties to Oregon dating back to the late 1800’s. We are dedicated to providing families with personal assistance in their time of need and delivering dignified funeral services. We serve families of all faiths and cultures with funeral and memorial needs. As a company, we are environmentally conscious and have worked with the City of Portland to enhance natural habitat on our property. Riverview Abbey is socially responsible as well. The company donates to many local charities and religious institutions. We employ eleven people with wages and benefits that provide a good quality of life. Riverview Abbey complies with all state and federal regulations and is a member of the Oregon Funeral Directors Association (OFDA).

We are truly grateful for kind words like these.

Walking alongside families and friends as they make arrangements for a loved one is a responsibility we hold close to our hearts. One individual recently shared this about their experience with Riverview Abbey:

“Making arrangements for a friend who had already pre planned with Riverview. I was impressed every step of the way. Felt Ryan went above and beyond and really listened.”

To us, listening is one of the most important things we can do. Whether services have been thoughtfully pre planned or decisions need to be made during a difficult moment, our team is here to guide you with compassion, clarity, and respect.

Ryan and our entire staff are committed to honoring every life with dignity and supporting families before, during, and after the service.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ANOTHER 5 STAR REVIEW!!

“Special thanks to Bill, a wonderful man. Positive, helpful information provided when researching funeral services by phone. There was a little uncertainty about the death certificates; how long they would take to be processed, when I would be notified, etc. But it worked out ok. Absolutely recommend their services. Excellent experience.”

One of the hardest things I hear in funeral service is, “We’ll deal with it later.”

I’ve sat with adult children who bring a parent in because they understand that preplanning matters. We begin the conversation. The intentions are sincere. And then life happens. Schedules fill up. Something urgent comes along. The appointment gets postponed. “We’ll reschedule.”

Sometimes… that reschedule never comes.

Not because anyone didn’t care. But because avoidance is powerful, and loss rarely arrives at a convenient time. When a parent passes before plans are in place, the weight of regret can feel overwhelming. The stress is real. Families are left making emotional decisions in the middle of grief.

Preplanning isn’t about being morbid. It’s about being thoughtful.

It’s about giving your family clarity instead of confusion, peace instead of pressure, and one less burden to carry when the day comes.

If you’ve been meaning to “get around to it,” consider this your gentle reminder. 🤍

"Very professional and warm. It was all handled well. Thank you for your help. Tim was very helpful and courteous."

We truly appreciate families taking the time to share their experiences with Riverview Abbey. Feedback like this means a great deal to our entire team, especially when it reflects the compassion, dedication, and personalized care we strive to provide during life’s most difficult moments.

As a family-owned funeral home located near the banks of the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon, Riverview Abbey is committed to supporting families of all faiths and cultures with dignity, respect, and understanding.

Here’s what one family had to say about their experience with our team:

💬 Family Review:
“Riverview Abbey knows how to take care of its clients. Tim Proctor, their funeral director is one of the best human beings I've ever met. I had called several funeral homes to discuss our unique situation wherein my sister-in-law's sister passed away suddenly in Portland and our family wanted her remains to be flown to India. There isn't much help online available to guide you through this process. All the funeral homes that I called said it would take a minimum of 3–4 weeks for the remains to leave Portland. When asked if they would be able to work with us to try to make it happen sooner, everyone said that's not possible.
Not Tim Proctor of Riverview Abbey. While he said he was new to this process of sending remains overseas, he was committed to help us find a faster method. He was open to collaboration when it was necessary and in other areas, he pushed himself and his resources to the limit to make sure our tight timeline was met. He really jumped into helping us and through the process, it showed that he truly cared as if he were helping his own family member. I was touched by his prompt responses and attention to detail and he truly went above and beyond what I assume his regular role calls for.

Such a great place who takes care of its clients in their hardest times. I hope this place continues to do well and I know it will since it hires not only the most capable people but also kind-hearted and amazing human beings.

Thanks Tim & the Riverview Abbey team. Our family is truly thankful to you for all the help.”

We are incredibly grateful for the trust families place in Riverview Abbey during times of loss. Thank you for allowing us to serve your family with compassion, professionalism, and care. We remain committed to providing meaningful funeral services in Portland, Oregon, and supporting our community for generations to come.

"All the staff were kind, courteous, respectful and compassionate. But Ryan in particular was simply amazing. The sudden death of my wife was extremely traumatic and Ryan's calm, caring manner, his flexibility, patience, respect and willingness to 'go the extra mile' will forever stay will me. It was a great comfort to know he was taking care of my wife and because of his support and care I was able to move through this difficult time and manage this terrible loss."
