Chapel of the Chimes is an Oakland landmark, designed with intention by architect Julia Morgan. With more than a century of service, we are proud to honor those who served and remember their lives and legacies. Military services are conducted with honor, dignity and gratitude. No matter what branch, we are honored to recognize their life and service. We work with families to integrate military honors with their loved one’s faith, culture and tradition, as well as the family’s budget. Contact us to plan a veteran’s funeral worthy of their service.
