Sutherlin Chapel of the Roses

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.

Irene Carissima Fetsch

Irene Carisima Fetsch, a woman whose strength, faith, and love shaped five generations of family.

Irene was born in a small coal mining village of Gilfach Goch ,Wales in 1927 and grew up during a time of great hardship. She lived through the loss of her home during the Bristol Blitz, an experience that forged her resilience and her deep appreciation for life's simple blessings. In the midst of war, she met an American soldier, Floyd Willard, and their love carried her across the ocean to begin a new life in the United States.

She embraced every chapter with courage - from life on a Nebraska farm to raising her five children in Washington, to building a new home in Oregon. After losing both her husbands, Irene continued forward with remarkable independence. She traveled the world, tended beautiful gardens, and stayed active in her church and community. Wherever she lived, people cherished her warmth, her kindness, and her lively spirit.

Irene leaves behind a family that spans five generations - a legacy of love that began with one brave young woman who crossed an ocean and built a life rooted in faith and devotion.

She will be remembered for her strength, her stories, and the way she made every place feel like home. Though she will be missed deeply, her love lives on in all of us.

Your loved one deserves the highest level of respect and dignity, a trust that we take very seriously. Allow us to be a part of your family when it matters most. Whether you have an immediate need for our services or you wish to begin pre-planning a funeral arrangement for you or someone you love, call us. We will be proud to serve you.
