When you lose someone whose faith shaped their life, honoring that faith matters. As a Catholic-friendly funeral home in Oakland, Chapel of the Chimes helps your family observe each part of the Catholic liturgy with reverence, from the vigil to burial. We care for your loved one, coordinate with your parish for the funeral Mass, and guide every detail around it. One team guides your family so nothing falls to you alone at a difficult time. Here is what a Catholic service involves, and how we help East Bay families honor it.
A Catholic funeral is planned around your loved one. At our Oakland chapel we observe the tradition with reverence and coordinate with your parish, so your family can focus on prayer and remembrance.
Catholic funeral services in Oakland often begin with a vigil, a time for family and friends to gather in prayer and share memories the evening before. We help your family arrange this gathering with respect, in keeping with the tradition.
The Mass is the heart of a Catholic funeral. A Catholic funeral Mass in the East Bay is typically celebrated in your parish church, and our Oakland team coordinates the timing, transport and details with your parish so the day unfolds with reverence.
The Rite of Committal brings the family together at the place of rest. We offer Catholic burial in the East Bay within our landmark Oakland grounds, including dignified above-ground entombment.
From the first call throughout the process, one team at our Oakland chapel guides your family and works alongside your parish and clergy. We manage the coordination, the transport and the details, so your family can give the day to prayer and one another.
From the vigil to the final committal, your family is guided by one team at our Oakland chapel, a setting built to honor a life and legacy. We coordinate each part with your parish and our grounds, where Oakland has remembered its own since 1909.
