Caring for Oakland Since 1909

Chapel of the Chimes was established in 1909. The 1928 expansion was designed by architect Julia Morgan, and has remained a historical site to honor life and legacy since. Inspired by Parisian architecture, Julia Morgan created an experience that has lasted over a century.

We’re more than just a funeral home. We’re a community cornerstone where Oakland gathers to remember families across generations. With over a century of service, we understand the importance of a permanent tribute to loved ones. We value our community’s diversity and welcome all faiths, cultures and traditions. Whether you’re planning a small service or a large gathering, we are honored to work with your family and be a part of this process.
