Choosing how a loved one is remembered for generations is a crucial decision, and many families aren’t sure how to start the process. An upright headstone is a vertical monument, usually granite, that sits above the resting place and is inscribed with a name, dates and the words or imagery the family chooses. At Chapel of the Chimes in Oakland, one caring team helps families design upright headstones that reflect their loved one. We then take care of the ordering and placement, as well as the rest of the arrangements. These are the options East Bay families consider most often, and how we personalize each choice for your loved one.
Each life is unique, and each monument should reflect that. These are the upright options East Bay families consider most often. Each one is a tribute we help you design, personalize and install, all from our location on Piedmont Avenue.
Granite upright headstones are an enduring choice for a permanent marker. We offer granite monuments in a range of colors and finishes. Each choice is a lasting tribute, built to stand for generations against the Oakland weather.
A tall monument isn’t the right choice for every family. While we offer upright markers for East Bay families, we also have slant markers. These are lower-profile standing options that demonstrate the same dignity and personalization, but on a smaller scale.
Companion and family monuments offer a single resting place for loved ones. These upright monuments for East Bay families can either hold two names or mark a family plot, so a shared legacy becomes a single lasting tribute.
Every monument is designed with intention. Our team will help you choose inscriptions, carved or laser-etched imagery, as well as custom shapes. The headstone can reflect faith, passion or the words most meaningful to your family.
