An indoor columbarium in Oakland offers more than a place for cremated remains. It gives families a permanent setting where memories can be revisited, stories can be shared and future generations can gather.At Chapel of the Chimes, each cremation niche is set within the remarkable Julia Morgan architecture, a setting as meaningful as the memorial itself. Families from Oakland and throughout the East Bay find comfort in knowing there is always a beautiful place to return, whether for a visit or an anniversary of remembrance. It is a space to honor life and legacy, where permanence, beauty and family connection come together.
Every family arrives with different wishes. Here is how we guide you from your first question to the moment a niche becomes a place your family can always return to.
A glass front niche keeps the urn and meaningful keepsakes in view behind protective glass. Families can personalize this permanent tribute with an urn of their choosing, a veteran’s medallion or a scannable QR code that opens a page telling their loved one’s story in pictures or video.
An enclosed niche offers a classic, understated tribute, with an inscribed front that names and honors your loved one. Families often choose this style for its timeless appearance and the quiet sense of permanence it provides within the landmark corridors of Chapel of the Chimes.
Companion and family niches hold more than one urn, so loved ones can rest together in one lasting place. Planning ahead gives families comfort knowing future generations will have a single place to visit, reflect and celebrate shared legacies together.
From inscriptions to cultural emblems, each niche is personalized to reflect a life. Our team works with every culture and tradition to ensure the tribute honors your loved one in the way that matters most to your family.
