After a cremation, many families want a permanent place to go where their loved one is honored and remembered. A glass front niche in Oakland offers exactly that. It is a dedicated space within our columbarium that holds an urn behind a clear front, so the urn and chosen mementos stay in view, a small and lasting tribute your family can visit. At Chapel of the Chimes, these niches sit within a landmark designed with intention, a place where Oakland remembers its own. Here are the choices you have and how we guide you.
No two tributes are the same. A glass front niche at our Oakland chapel is a permanent, personal choice shaped around your family and your loved one. Here is what families across the East Bay can expect and how we guide each step.
A niche within our indoor columbarium in the East Bay is a permanent, above-ground tribute. Set inside a landmark designed with intention, it gives your loved one a lasting place of honor and your family somewhere to return for generations.
A glass front niche keeps the urn and chosen mementos in view behind a clear front. Where a closed niche is private, a glass front lets your family display a photograph, a keepsake or a small remembrance, a personal tribute seen on every visit.
A glass front niche in the Bay Area can hold a single urn, two urns for a couple, or more for a family who wishes to rest together. Our team helps you find the right fit.
For many families, a visible, above-ground tribute carries cultural or religious meaning. Our Oakland chapel welcomes families of every tradition. Tell us what your customs ask for and we will do our best to honor them with care and respect.
When you are ready, our Oakland team coordinates the placement of the urn in your chosen cremation niche and helps dedicate the space with the meaning your family intends.
Everything happens in one place, with one team, at our Oakland chapel. From the cremation to choosing and dedicating a niche, your family is guided at every step in a setting built to honor a life and legacy, where Oakland has remembered its own since 1909.
