Based on the comment you wrote about Hester Wishaar possibly being buried at Evergreen-Washelli Cemetery , I called them. According to Tiffany there, they said Hester is NOT buried there. She then got the funeral home's records, and they state that after Hester's cremation, she was sent to Groth Funeral Home in Seattle for services. Tiffany said she had never heard of Groth, and thought they may be out of business. I called Groth from a phone number on their (very old style) website, but the phone number has been disconnected. A photo of the building on Google Maps at Groth's address in southwest Seattle shows no listing for Groth on the sign in front of it. So, it appears Tiffany's guess is correct; the business no longer exists. -- You may want to change your comment on Hester's FAG memorial to something like: "Final arrangements were handled by Washelli Funeral Home. According to their records, cremains were transferred to Groth Funeral Home in Seattle for services. Final disposition unknown."
