“They've been great at making things happen and helping me make decisions easier. Thanks much.“
“Reaching out to a funeral home was the most difficult phone call I’ve ever had to make. Fortunately, I called the right place. A friend recommended Alameda after she used them for her husband. When my Mom was suddenly ill, I couldn’t handle much… and everything was happening so quickly.. But, during my first interaction, and throughout, Paul and the rest of the people at Alameda were kind, respectful and professional. They didn’t try to sell me anything, they didn’t keep me any longer than was absolutely necessary, they were aware of my inability to process difficult decisions. They got straight to the necessary details, only pausing when I needed them to…. They were just wonderful. A major bright spot in what was otherwise an intensely difficult time. I will always be grateful to them.Also, Don’t waste precious time on calling other places. This is the only place you need. I did call other places, and I wish I had just called Alameda first.I don’t think you have to make arrangements with them in advance. But, do chose your funeral home before things get too hectic or sad. You will want to know they’re there. Even if logically you know it’s coming, when it happens, you will NOT be in a position to go trolling the internet for a funeral home. So, call them in advance. They’ll walk you through some very important details. Knowing what to expect makes a world of difference during your time of need.“

“Being a local resident, I have attended several funeral related functions at Greer Mortuary. Whether it be a viewing, a vigil, prayers / the Rosary, or other, I alway knew that Greer would be the venue that most events would take place (other than church, synagogue, temple, or other place of worship). Families would choose Greer not just because of the reputation of the name, but because they have full service with attentive and knowledgeable staff, helpful from the whole process from planning and execution, to post mortem follow ups.That's why most people I know in the area, choose Greer Mortuary..... and then, it sadly was our turn to call upon Greer for their assistance when my father was called to the Lord.Christine was very helpful from the time we reached out, flexible, knowledgeable and just very pleasant during this difficult time. It was also a very "familiar" feeling working with her and her team, since we had so many friends and families use Greer Mortuary in the past, that she knew many of the same florists, church contacts, and related funeral related suppliers, and this made it easy for us as they are trusted.We all know the funeral business is just that, a business, however, Greer Mortuary made the whole process more personable, and really understood our needs and went out of their way to make it feel less than a business transaction and more really support and helping us celebrate the life of my father, in the best way possible, working with Greer Mortuary.They basically did A - Z for us... from the filing of paperwork with the State / County to be able to transport my father from the hospital to their mortuary facilities, to the preparation, the selection of either Caskets or Urns or whatever was needed, and even with getting us the required Death Certificates, etc.,....They did so much behind the scenes work that it allowed us to focus on the real matter, grieving for my father and tending to the many out of town guests who came to mourn the loss and also celebrate the great life my father lived.The grieving part is important as well as the planning for the funeral, and to be able to focus on the family is paramount and we are so grateful to Greer Mortuary for allowing us to focus on what we needed to, rather than the "transactional" side of it.I would definitely recommend Greer Mortuary to anyone who may need their services.Thank you!“

“The staff at Diablo Valley Funeral Homes was exceptionally helpful throughout my family’s funeral service. They go the extra mile to make sure you’re comfortable and supported throughout the planning process. They made me feel confident that the service went smooth and seamless.Thank you Sarah and the Diablo Valley team!!!“
“Mia and the rest of the staff at the Grand Ave branch were super efficient and kind. I had some special needs, ash scattering permits and multiple edits on my loved one's obit. Mía got everything taken care of really fast, including multiple copies if death cert. She gave great advice and I trust her. The package my loved one bought was about $1700 I think and that covered everything. Do your loved ones a favor and set up Neptune Society, they are very professional and easy to contact. Also consider UCSF willed body program, it is free.“
“Wilson & Kratzer were extremely helpful during such a difficult time. My daughter, son and I needed their support, help and guidance when my husband unexpectedly passed away. They were so patient and kind during the process. I would highly recommend them.“
“Never have I ever felt so alone and lost. During a time of grief, Paul (the owner) was amazing! He was so welcoming and comforting, not to mention so well cultured. Paul knew exactly what I needed for our traditional burial more than I did. That made a huge impression for me. He took care of our worries at our time of need and let our family focus on other things we needed to attend to. For that, I will forever be grateful!“
“My family and I were so lucky that we decided to use Oak Park Hills Chapel. Mark and then entire staff were very helpful and responsive. We needed our mother transported to Southern California so she could be buried next to our father. Mark and Oak Park Hills Chapel walked us through everything we needed to do. The Cemetery in LA was very difficult to work with and slow to respond. If not for Mark, it could have been a disaster. He was so responsive and helpful the whole time. He answered every email promptly, even on the weekend. During a difficult time, Oak Park Hills Chapel was the silver lining.“
“Exceptional experience, exceptional professionalism and exceptional kindness from my first contact with Ms. Ruby to my latest, not my "last"--I will call her again.“
“I want to shout out about excellent service at a very reasonable price we’ve got from Eric and his crew. Everyone we worked with at Alta Vista was very professional and knowledgeable. Eric is very compassionate and gave us invaluable advice. I lost my dad and my family was lost, confused and overwhelmed by the process. Eric made the process so much smoother. I wholeheartedly endorse and recommend Eric and his crew.“
“The service here at Cooper Chapel was amazing. Through this whole process of my father's funeral, Rueben was very sympathetic, helpful and friendly. He was thorough with how everything worked and prompt on timing of everything. Through this hard time Rueben definitely helped make this process smooth. Thank you Rueben!“

“We love to take a walk here because it’s beautiful - with big views of the city - and safe! I see lots of kids riding bikes here too!“
“Excellent service by this organization. They kept us informed throughout the steps. Thank you“
“Both of my parents were cremated in Oakland 12 years apart and we had no problem. All went smoothly and they were great with information and quickly picked up their bodies. They made a difficult time go smoothly.“
“The work that they do is GREAT quality and BEAUTIFUL. The only thing was the communication, I understand they have a lot of orders and things come up but I felt they weren't always good communicators.“
“I am pleased with the way this Black Family Owned Business has been dealing with myself and my family amidst all the grief.“
“Lovely views within Oakland with rolling hills and lush greenery. We drove much farther than I thought. Everything looked wellMaintain. The staff from the Chapel of the Chimes were polite and respectful. They helped with the burial, traffic control, and parking. It was a lovely service under the circumstances.“
