The Rainier Cemetery District is licensed by the Oregon State Mortuary and Cemetery Board - publicly owned - operated by Sexton & Clerk - governed by three elected board members. All the Cemeteries are funded strictly by tax dollars and funeral fees. There are currently 9 cemeteries maintained by the District.

The Rainier Cemetery District office is located in the Chapel at 75900 Larson Road. The Chapel is listed with the National Historic Registry and visitors are welcome to stop in and see the Chapel with its original pews, pulpit, and pump organ.
