Mission Statement
People’s Memorial Association (PMA), is the trusted resource and thought-leader for funeral choice, education, and advocacy in Washington State. We envision a future where everyone has access to after-death arrangements that reflect their personal values and resources.
Description
Founded in 1939, People's Memorial Association serves its members and the general public throughout Washington. PMA was created in the height of the co-operative movement in the U.S. in order to establish an alternative to the high prices and predatory sales practices of the funeral industry. PMA founders set out to provide affordable funeral services that honored the deceased’s social and spiritual values.
In 2007, the members of PMA voted to open a co-operative funeral home in Seattle coined The Co-op Funeral Home of People's Memorial.
