115+ Years Serving Oakland Families
100,000+ Families Served
When a loved one dies, families often worry whether their faith and customs will be fully understood and observed. At Chapel of the Chimes Oakland, we have honored the cultural funeral traditions of Oakland’s many communities for generations, working closely with families and clergy to ensure every rite is observed. Our multicultural funeral services span Catholic, Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, Hindu, Chinese and Protestant customs, and we welcome interfaith and personal tributes as well. Whatever your traditions are, we’ll help you observe them with dignity. Below are the traditions we honor for East Bay families, with guidance at every step.
