Portland, OR—Feb. 27, 2007—Oregon Memorials, a leading provider of wholesale, custom, handcrafted granite and marble memorials, columbaria, and public art installations, announces the debut of its new website, http://www.OregonMemorials.com. The family-owned, Hillsboro-based memorials company, renowned for nearly 60 years of industry expertise and its exceptional craftsmanship, also had a minor brand refresh.

Created by the award-winning Overland Agency, the B2B site allows users to explore a resourceful Flash-based columbaria section that details Oregon Memorials’ comprehensive turnkey solutions. The site also features the proprietary Memorial Builder, an innovative Flash-based customization tool that enables purchasers to design and preview memorial options, easing purchase decisions in a difficult time.

“Our mission is to provide outstanding personal service to our customers and deliver the finest memorials and columbaria on the market today. Our new website and online Memorial Builder are aimed at elevating the value of memorialization,” explains Tim Bronlewee, President of Oregon Memorials.

The strategy behind OregonMemorials.com was to introduce Oregon Memorials’ award-winning, premium-quality columbaria and memorial offerings to cemeteries and funeral homes across the country, and create a partnership program that simplifies the sales process for customers.

“People want to play a larger role in the memorialization process. This new website is another avenue for helping our customers serve their families better and easier than ever before. We see it as a tool to help our customers guide families through these decisions,” added Bronlewee.
