Our History
The roots of Macy and Son date back to 1903, when the late W.T. Macy and his
brother, Walter, purchased a furniture and undertaking parlor from H.C. Burns. The
goal of the Macy brothers was to provide the citizens of Yamhill County funeral services
of the highest standards at a fair price. With this in mind, the Macy firm was born.
The establishment grew in its early years, and in 1920 Glen S. Macy joined his
father, W.T. Macy, and the firm was renamed Macy & Son. In 1936, the present funeral
home was built and still is acclaimed as one of the most beautiful small community
funeral homes in the West.
The third generation of Macys, Glen C. Macy, joined the staff after World War II.
Glen Macy was past president of the Oregon Funeral Director Association, and the
Oregon State Board of Funeral Directors and Embalmers. Glen Macy was actively
involved in civic affairs and received both Junior Citizen and Senior Citizen awards.
The Firm Today
The fourth generation, Glens sons Steve and Scott, are now part of the firm.
Steve entered the firm in 1975 and Scott came into the firm in 1982.
All four generations have been involved with government, community and
church as leaders and volunteers. It has been the policy of the firm that dedication to
our community is a family responsibility and tradition.
Macy & Son has also been at the forefront of the funeral profession. Three generations
of Macys have been president of the Oregon Funeral Directors Association, and Glen
and Steve Macy have both been appointed by the Governor of the State of Oregon to the
Oregon State Mortuary Board. Both men served as president of that State Board.
