Cremation doesn’t mean there’s no memorial or resting place for your loved one. At Chapel of the Chimes Oakland, every cremation is carried out in our on-site crematory, so your loved one never leaves our care. Some families plan for a simple, direct cremation, while others choose a memorial service or traditional funeral. They may also choose a permanent tribute in our historic columbarium. Whatever your plans, we can accommodate your wishes within your budget. Below are the options we offer Oakland and East Bay families, with caring guidance along the way.

— From the families
Direct cremation is a simple, affordable cremation option. Unlike holding a traditional or memorial service, no formal service is held beforehand, which allows you to hold a service if you wish, when you’re ready.
You don’t have to face this difficult season alone. Our caring team is here, at any hour of the day or night, to assist you with your first steps and choices beyond.
