Every family has that one recipe. The one nobody ever wrote down. Here's how to make sure it doesn't disappear:

1. Sit down with the person who makes it best. Watch them cook it. Ask questions as they go.

2. Cook it wrong on purpose (once). You'll quickly learn what makes their version special when yours doesn't taste the same.

3. Include the story behind it. Where did it come from? Who passed it down? Why does it matter?

4. Save it in their handwriting. Ask them to write it out on a recipe card. Their handwriting is part of the heirloom.

5. Pair it with a photo. A picture of them in the kitchen, an old holiday dinner, or even just the finished dish on their favorite plate.

This one's for you. The one who's missing someone today.

The one who still reaches for the phone to call them. Even though you know they won't answer.

The one who hears a song and feels it all over again. Some memories don't fade — and that's okay.

The one who's fine until someone asks how you're doing. You don't always have to be strong.

The one who still sets an extra place at the table in your heart. Love doesn't end just because someone's gone.

The one who grieves in silence. We see you. You're not alone.

The love you carry for them? That doesn't go away. It just proves how much they mattered.

Our Story

Loveland Funeral Chapel has been serving the Grande Ronde Valley since 1922. The funeral home was originated by the Snodgrass and Zimmerman families, and was later run by the Dempsey, Coffey and Payne families. In October of 1999, Kevin Loveland purchased the funeral home. In the year 1999, we served 70 families. Last year we served almost 200 families. The reason for our growth is that we promise to give each and every family absolute unparalleled service. We will assist you in creating the most personal and meaningful tribute to your loved one to commemorate the life that was lived. We acknowledge that we cannot make the pain go away, but together we can make the journey of grief less lonely and a little easier.
