Pine Box

The Pine Box

We are proud to be a part of our Capitol Hill community and Seattle’s history.

Built in 1923, this colonial-style building of vaulted ceilings and leaded glass windows was once the new expansion of E.R. Butterworth & Sons Family Funeral Business.

The ceramic block marked 33 located between our draft screens was part of the original urn storage.

As noted by local historian Clarence Bagley in 1929, this was the first business to offer the city “comprehensive death-related services from corpse retrieval to coffin sales.”

On July 31, 1973 Butterworth & Sons provided these services to the family and loved ones of Bruce Lee.
