When you say goodbye to a loved one, having a place to remember matters. Traditional ground burial gives a family a permanent resting place to visit in the years to come. This means a loved one is laid to rest in a cemetery plot in the grounds, marked with a headstone or other memorial. At Chapel of the Chimes in Oakland, we help you choose from the burial plots on our landmark grounds and coordinate it with the rest of the arrangements. Below are the ground burial options East Bay families turn to most.
Every family is different, and the right resting place should reflect that. Explore the ground burial options East Bay families often choose in our Oakland grounds. We will help you select and personalize your choice from one location on Piedmont Avenue.
A traditional burial plot is a familiar choice for many families, where a loved one is buried in a ground plot that is marked with a headstone. We offer cemetery plots throughout our Oakland grounds, in a historic setting that has served the East Bay since 1909.
Plots are available for a single person, for two loved ones side by side, or for a larger family grouping. Each will be personalized to your family’s wishes, and our team can explain how single and companion plots work.
