I'm starting feel like a family friend here. Sadly within 5 years I had to use their services…read moreagain for my Domestic Partner in January. This time I had a bit of time to prepare as we had to make decision to end life support. I went down to make the preparations and the young woman was great. Frank was also there so I just told him how much I appreciated their service over the years. Again no pressure tactics to buy a certain kind of urn/casket etc. We were returning him to the Bay, so she helped me with the certification I needed from SFDPH which I needed to provide to the vessel we were taking out to the Bay. I thought I might have to pay a deposit and then when the body was received the rest. No, everything is paid once they received the body. When the time came, I called them. The hospital requested to see if they could pick up the body within 4 hours, but they do charge extra. So Kaiser has an offsite morgue they store and they went to pick him up the next day. Everything is spelled out price wise and extremely reasonable and they treat you with dignity and again I was very happy with their service. Please be aware it can take a couple to three week to receive the ashes, if you are going that route, because the hold up is usually at the County/States Agencies, ie Vital Records, but once that is done, it is smooth sailing.

I can't say enough about how wonderful everyone here has been to me and my family. Amanda was so…read moreincredible in particular. She went above and beyond to stay in communication and provide all the information we needed. Any time there were questions she got back to us incredibly quickly. My uncle passed away in San Francisco and our family is in Minneapolis. The kindness, compassion and willingness to help in any way possible made the whole process that much easier. Most of the arrangements were done by phone and email before we were able to fly out and pick up his cremains. When we arrived we were greeted with the same kindness, compassion and thoughtfulness as we had throughout the entire process. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for everyone here and allowing us the ability to say goodbye to a man who was loved so deeply.

She was compassionate and her sermon was on point backed by verses from the Bible. She blended my husband 's Character with the Bible and was quite comforting Everyone who attended Ed's Memorial were amazed and appreciative and everyone were impressed with the Sermon by Rev Pamela Spencer. The staff were also compassionate professional. From the day one when we met Ed we were treated with respect and compassion and before we signed the contract everything was clear. Ed was very personable and replied to my text late. From the beginning to End From Ed to Rev Pam and the entire staff of Chapel Chimes everything went smoothly. Thank you Chapel Of Chimes.

Unfortunately I have to seriously downgrade my review based on my recent experiences with the…read moreOakland location. We opted to do our preneed with them. During the contract preparation phase there were multiple errors, misstatements, and rewritten contracts by Denise. Mark, the supervisor intervened so we trusted them, hoped for the best, and continued through the process. We wrote them a check 10/2/25 (that was cashed 10/3/25), as full payment for our preneed selection. We were advised the "Deed" would be sent to us within 30-60 days. There was a 3-day cancellation clause that was signed during the preparation phase. After that period had subsided I started receiving a multitude of emails and phones calls advising I needed to (re)sign the cancellation clause. After comparing the new document to the prior one (signed) I realized Denise forgot to enter the effective date. So I signed it again, and sent it to her. Then I received additional emails about the same issue - blaming Adobe Acrobat Sign for not having me sign in the right place. That was finally resolved - and a moot point since the 3-day cancellation period had passed. It's now 4 months later, and I had to reach out to them to see where the Deed is since we haven't received ANY communication from them. Mark was apologetic, stated the office manager just completed it today, and they would be mailing it today. They emailed me a .pdf copy and the document is postdated to 1/31/26. I don't understand why when they have been earning interest and/or paying bills with over $7k of our money for 4 months. I would think it would be backdated to 10/2/25 or at least dated for today. Thank God we didn't need it between times. The repeated errors and lack of follow through is unacceptable. I can't blame the office staff because I had no direct dealings with them. But Denise and/or Mark should have followed through to assure a sale made through their area was successful and had been completed long before 1/22/26. The property is well tended to but they clearly need additional oversight in how to provide quality preneed customer service (from the signing of contracts to the mailing of crucial documents). Terribly disappointed. Can't recommend at this time.

Most of my family is at rest at St. Mary's Cemetery in Oakland. We have a long history there over…read morethe years. My grandfather worked there during the days you had to dig graves by hand. It is a very peaceful cemetery with beautiful views. I recently lost my 99 year old uncle I was caring for. He had already purchased a crypt in the wall with pre-need insurance for everything else. The office staff (Maria and Rosario) were very understanding, compassionate and helpful. They set me up with Tony Tran, one of the Family Service Advisors, to coordinate final arrangements with the church and mortuary. I highly recommend working with Tony during your time of need. He really helped me out greatly with all the forms required and answered all my questions. He has lots of experience working with families in grief. He was present during the entombment to ensure everything was coordinated with the priests and staff. I highly recommend St. Mary's Cemetery for your pre-need arrangements and when the need arises.

If you are in an immediate need situation, they can be helpful but the way their actual service was…read moreconducted was absolutely unacceptable. A staff member, whose picture and name are no longer showing on their website, was extremely rude and obnoxious to my guests, who had a few questions when inside the office. Luis Tovar actually interrupted my Priest while he was conducting the gravesite ceremony to speak to me about a non-urgent matter that could have been discussed AFTER this sacred and solemn event had concluded. Staff member Maria Karger, who initially assisted me, was most helpful throughout the process. The Inurnment of my Dearly Departed took place on April 25th, 2025.

I was looking at mortuaries, alone with an unfamiliar duty in an unfamiliar location. I finally turned to Yelp to see what was posted about mortuaries I'd looked at when David from Honor Cremations popped up to say he thought he could help me. I truly felt an instant feeling of safety and trust. Sometimes we're lucky enough to get guidance. David is kind, sympathetic and morale. I spent the next several years feeling secure for when the time came. One of the few things I was able to feel secure about. When my husband did pass in the middle of the night in the veteran hospital hospice, they knew to call Honor. Because it might take time for Honor to arrive, the hospital wanted to take my husband to their mortuary and I refused saying we would wait for Honor. I trusted them and knew he'd be in good hands and those feelings were right. The gentleman who arrived to take my husband helped the nurse prepare him so when he came out of the room he was draped in the American flag. With everything else my husband and I went through with the change in care facilities, finances, and just 'handling it all' as my husband's condition worsened over the years, David's honesty and compassion took this step off my shoulders. I have purchased Honor Cremation for myself, so our children have the confidence to know everything will be taken care of. Thank you David and Honor Cremations. When so many unexpected doors closed with years-long tragedy, you offered a safe open door.

Staff is very respectful, caring and considerate -- both things were extremely important…read moreconsidering the pain our family was going through. The price was incredible low compared to many other places and the company was well known among hospital and hospice staff. The body was picked up with much respect and the day of the cremation, staff was present to take care of is although a third party does the actual cremation. I am very satisfied with them and very thankful for how they cared for us. They were also very responsive and efficient every time I called for quotes or with questions.
