A Time to Remember...

to laugh, to cry, and to share memories

Virgil "Tommy" Golden had a saying, "the impossible only takes a moment longer".  For over 65 years we, at Virgil T Golden Funeral Service, have continued in his foot steps to set the standard for helping families.

We are able to offer options, perhaps ideas, but you the family always make the final decision.  After you make your decision, we are there to assist in any way so you are able to spend time with family and friends and not worry (be concerned) about the details of the time being together.


Our celebration of life ideas, personalized attention, various cremation and funeral options, eco-friendly choices, along with pre-planning services, have all contributed to our legacy.

Since 2000 we have had our own crematory in our building and in 2006, we were one of the first funeral homes in Oregon to offer free online obituaries.

We assist veterans and their families as well as have programs to help those on active duty such as Cell Phones for Soldiers. To honor the fallen, we help with Wreaths Across America. 


Our Facebook page continues to grow and we offer articles on grieving, care giving, and other relevant topics for those interested in the Salem area.
