Sutherlin Chapel of the Roses has served families of Sutherlin and North Douglas County for more tha Celebrating life is our mission. That’s never changed.
Sutherlin Chapel of the Roses was established years ago, and serving families has always been our focus. We take pride in being able to guide people through some of their most difficult days. We take pride in maintaining a setting that allows people to find solace. And with pride, it never will. We've learned a lot over many years. Like how to present options without overwhelming. And how to meet the needs of many caring parties. People come to us in difficult times, and we respond with kindness, calmness, and expertise. Our goal is to create a beautiful occasion and make you feel welcome, always. We spend our days planning with families. We stay up to date with industry developments. And we make hard times a little easier. At Sutherlin Chapel of the Roses, we think of our job as having two parts: physical and emotional. The physical is burials, entombments, and inurnments. Most funeral homes consider their primary function to be handling remains. The emotional is working with families to design healing experiences. Our peaceful and intimate setting becomes a place where people find closure, renewal, and togetherness. And that’s the most rewarding part of what we do. Gathering with friends and family gives everyone the opportunity to share memories, express emotions, and find comforting support. Whether you choose burial or cremation; whether you select a formal funeral or a more relaxed memorial service, the need for acknowledgment of the loss with family and friends is ever-present. We can help you create a unique meaningful ceremony to express the genuine individuality of your loved one. If burial has been selected, usually any ceremonies we design revolve around the casket being present. You can choose to follow tradition, with a viewing, and then a funeral service in a church or memorial chapel. Or you could decide to have a more relaxed service, even in your family home. We offer families a beautiful setting in which to come together to honor their loved one. But, you may certainly choose to celebrate their life in a more unique setting. No matter where you decide to gather together, such a service will make a difference in the lives of all who attend. Sutherlin Chapel of the Roses is the ultimate provider of creating healing experiences in the community. From services to workshops, they take pride in drawing the community together. All too often, families discount the value of ceremony after the death of a loved one, and they certainly don’t want you to make that mistake. Coming together after a loss is a very essential part of the grieving process. The team is here to listen to your concerns, share our experience, and help you to arrive at the perfect way to gather together before your loved one's interment in the cemetery of your choice. Visit their warm and comfortable offices at 783 W Central Ave Sutherlin, OR 97479, or call to schedule an appointment (541) 459-2281.

Together they built a life full of love and family, raising five children: Richard, Carol, Christine, Karen, and Cindy. The family lived in several areas of California before moving to Walla Walla, Washington for five years due to Gordon's work. In 1978, they settled first in Roseburg and then

collecting stamps, coloring, reading, embroidery, and working on puzzles. From time to time,
she also enjoyed helping in the jewelry department at the family's Ben Franklin store.
A woman of quiet strength and unwavering faith, Virginia was a devout Christian who deeply
loved the Lord. She was known for her gentle spirit, her perseverance through challenges, and
her steadfast determination.

grandchildren, Jason, Jacob, and Crystal; and numerous siblings. She leaves behind a legacy of

Drew Edward Bonadio
Drew Bonadio
1975 - 2025
It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Drew Bonadio, a beloved son, friend, and creative spirit who left us on September 19th in Sutherlin, Oregon.
Born October 19, 1975, in Canton, Ohio, Drew attended Aurora City Schools in Aurora, Ohio, before moving on to Western Reserve Academy in Hudson, Ohio, for high school. It was here that his love for acting truly began to blossom, winning the John W. Hallowell Award for contributing significantly to the cultural life of the school through his creative ability in art and writing.
After high school, Drew was awarded an English-Speaking Union scholarship and embarked on an international adventure, participating in a year-long fellowship at The Oundle School in Peterborough, England. He then earned his Bachelor of Arts from Miami University of Ohio and his Master of Fine Arts from the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts).
His professional journey was equally dynamic. Drew embraced his love for acting with a regional traveling theatre troupe based in New York City. As struggling actors often do, he became quite the entertaining server and bartender at Café Steinhof in Brooklyn. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to partner in a construction company that operated branches in New York and Los Angeles. Drew recognized a niche market of converting and retrofitting buildings for indoor cannabis cultivation and, from there, began working at indoor grows in California and Oregon.
Drew's life was not only defined by his work but also by his hobbies and interests. His competitive spirit was evident in his passion for skiing, tennis, and golf. His love of the theatre was always on display in his creativity and zany humor. He also loved painting and exploring music of all kinds.
Drew was preceded in death by his grandparents, Florence and Natale Bonadio, Vera and Edward Katchmark, and his aunts Carol Katchmark Kennedy and Donna Bonadio Frattaroli. Drew is survived by his devoted parents, Dave & Judi Bonadio, and his aunts Melanie Katchmark Zwicker and Danette Bonadio Stasko.
In honor of Drew's vibrant life, celebrations will be held over the next few months in various cities he called home. These gatherings will be an opportunity for all who knew and loved him to share memories, celebrate his unique sparkle, and keep his spirit alive.
A fine arts scholarship fund in Drew's name has been set up at Western Reserve Academy. We are so pleased that for many years to come, another talented student can be awarded the Drew Bonadio Fine Arts Scholarship. Memorial contributions can be made to Western Reserve Academy, Advancement Office, 115 College Street, Hudson, OH 44236, or online at wra.net/giving. It is important to identify that your gift is for the Drew Bonadio Fine Arts Scholarship.
