Marissa Bjorn, Administrative Assistant
Originally from Olympia, Marissa (They/Them) moved to Seattle to pursue both a flourishing music career and meaningful work beyond the creative realm. Their administrative roots go back to childhood, assisting their grandmother’s protective payee business—an early start that instilled a strong sense of responsibility.
Over the past twelve years, Marissa has built a versatile career in customer service, business management, and event coordination, managing cafés and tattoo shops while also organizing music events throughout Seattle. These experiences shaped them into a detail-oriented, people-focused professional passionate about creating community.
Their interest in the funeral profession began during the pandemic, when they uncovered troubling practices in the death care industry. This led to deep research and reflection, ultimately guiding them to The Co-Op Funeral Home, where their values around ethical and compassionate care aligned.
Outside of work, Marissa dwells in a lively home shared with artists/art lovers. They spend much of their free time DJing, going to concerts, organizing events, exploring the great outdoors, or collaborating/chilling with their partner Alex, a talented musician whom they look up to and adore. They also enjoy true crime documentaries—and the chaotic companionship of their Boston Terrier, Kismet, who insists on being the main character in every room.
