When my paternal grandparents used their services, they took care of and helped dress my grandparents for our viewing services rather well. They never bothered us but were attentive in case of our need. And when we were ready to use the furnace, they were extremely helpful and understanding for our time. Recently, we used their service again for my maternal grandfather. Everything was as I remembered (previous time was 2020), and the service and hospitality for us was great. Once again, we used the space of the chapel to hold the service for my grandfather and when it was time, the gentlemen closed the casket with sincerity and respect. Overall, I highly recommend this place for cremation services. The pricing was very fair for what we wanted for a 6 hour Open Casket Viewing and the service is top notch.

The service that was held in their chapel was so beautiful and had a comforting presence. I wish I could give 10/5 stars for the service Mark, Dan and Rex provided and in taking such great care of the person who passed. All expectations we had were beyond exceeded. We couldn't have asked for better people looking after our adored one.

From the very beginning, their team treated us with compassion, respect, and professionalism. Rose was especially wonderful--kind, patient, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. She guided me through every step with care and understanding, making sure I felt supported and never overwhelmed. The drivers who came to my home were equally professional and respectful. They handled everything with such dignity and sensitivity that it truly lifted a huge burden off my shoulders. Because of their care, I was able to focus on grieving and healing rather than worrying about the logistics. I am deeply grateful for the kindness and support I received, and I highly recommend Diablo Valley Cremation and Funeral Services to anyone in need of these services. They truly go above and beyond during life's most difficult moments.

They made us so comfortable that it felt like family. Thank you Diablo Valley

However, afterward, having completing payment and thinking the experience was finished, I have received multiple collection notices from Oakmont. Each time I've received these letters, I've called the Mortuary, spoken with someone, and been told they are waiting for funds from the insurance company. I even saved a voicemail from one of their employees about this. Nevertheless, the letters continued, and Oakmont sent a collection agency after us. Each time I've called, I've specifically said I would pay the balance, and been told I didn't need to.

During a recent service for my cousin, I learned that the business is now owned and operated by a Black family!! That alone speaks volumes, and it adds an even deeper level of appreciation for the experience they provide. The staff is incredibly professional and attentive. Donald, (I believe is his name) one of the directors, has always been helpful and supportive. During this most recent service, I also interacted with the current owners, who were kind, welcoming, and very hands-on in making sure everything was handled with care. I observed the team throughout the process -- from the initial arrangements to the day of service -- and everything was handled with respect and organization. The young man assisting with transportation was professional and well-presented, and the staff ensured the funeral procession was smooth and coordinated. Every car was accounted for, and the line remained intact all the way to the cemetery at Rolling Hills. What stands out most is their approach: they are empathetic without being overwhelming, and they do not pressure families or try to upsell services during an already difficult time. Instead, they offer options and allow families to make decisions comfortably. The decor is a bit dated, which I understand is from previous ownership, but I did overhear that updates are planned. Regardless, the level of service far outweighs aesthetics. Overall, this is a funeral home that leads with compassion, professionalism, and integrity. It's the only place I would consider using for future services, whether for burial, cremation, or arrangements.
