Choosing where a loved one will rest is a lasting decision. Some families want a plot for one person, while others are looking for a space where two can rest together. A single burial plot holds one person. Companion burial plots in Oakland are for two people, resting side by side or one above the other. At Chapel of the Chimes, our team helps you choose a plot within our historic grounds and handles every detail along with the rest of the arrangements. Whether you’re planning for one person or two, we help you find a place that aligns with your wishes and becomes part of a lasting Oakland legacy.
Every family has a different picture of where a loved one should rest. These are the burial plot options East Bay families choose most often on our Oakland grounds. We help you make the choices and coordinate all the details from one place.
A single burial plot in Oakland is a resting place for one person. Families often choose a place near loved ones already at rest here, or a garden that reflects the person’s character. We help you find the right one within our grounds.
Companion burial plots in Oakland let two people rest together. Side by side burial plots for East Bay families place two graves next to each other, a choice many spouses make so they remain close after they have passed.
A double depth burial plot holds two people in one space, one resting above the other. Families may choose this to keep two loved ones together in a single plot. This option also makes thoughtful use of the grounds while keeping family close.
Some families want to keep all of their loved ones nearby. We can arrange family plot groupings, with several plots mapped out side by side, so parents, children and coming generations can remain close in one part of our Oakland grounds.
Our team at the Oakland chapel helps families choose every plot and memorial. Nothing is left for the family to coordinate alone. We help you secure a resting place worthy of the life and legacy of the one you love.

A burial plot is only one part of funeral arrangements. From other burial options to markers, pricing and personalized tours, our Oakland team handles all the details so your family is supported throughout the process.
A companion burial plot is a resting place for two people. At our Oakland grounds, companion plots can be side by side or double depth, with one person resting above the other. Many couples choose companion burial plots so they can stay together.
Besides a plot, a ground burial usually includes an outer burial container and a marker to remember your loved one. We explain these options clearly and help you choose, so you can find the right fit for you and your family.
Yes. Many families plan ahead and choose plots together, which spares their loved ones from having to make quick decisions during a difficult time. Planning ahead allows a couple to settle on their resting places now. Plots can also be chosen during at-need arrangements, and our Oakland team will guide you through the entire process.
No. A double depth burial plot is used over time. One person is laid to rest first, and the plot is prepared so a second person can rest above later, whenever that time comes. The family is never asked to plan around both at the same time.
Burial plots come in a range of options to suit different families and settings within our grounds. We keep pricing clear and personal rather than listing figures here. Ask our Oakland team directly, or visit our cemetery pricing and property tours page to compare options.
