Diablo Valley Cremation and Funeral was gentle and professional through the hardest day of my life…read more Most of my dad's family and friends are abroad in Turkey, and I was afraid he wouldn't have many people there for him. He was such a good man. When I walked in to see him for the first time, he had been presented with so much dignity. The room they recommended was the perfect size for our group, intimate enough that it never felt empty, and large enough that we felt respected and not crowded. They arranged flowers, a spray and music that were true to him. They never rushed us. Everyone was compassionate, and they balanced clear, caring communication with real empathy in their eyes when they looked at you. The loss was so unexpected and we didn't know what to do, so they educated us gently and took care of the details so I didn't have to think and could focus on my father and our loved ones and truly mourn. I knew I was in the hands of true professionals with deep experience, including with families of many cultures. They were understanding with every guest and thoughtful in the small ways they arranged the day. I would never wish this experience on anyone, but it's part of life. I came away thinking of my father on that day, celebrated with joy, love and dignity. I feel a sense of peace and closure for his life, and Diablo Valley helped our family feel that on such an emotional day. I will be forever grateful to their team.

When I found myself in that heartbreaking situation, Bari made me feel like I had all the support in the world. From the very beginning, they treated me and my family with genuine compassion, kindness, and respect. They made us feel like human beings going through an unimaginable loss not like just another customer or another check. Everything was explained clearly, patiently, and with so much care. There were no surprises, and they made sure we understood every step of the process. During one of the most difficult times of my life, having people who truly cared made such a difference. Bari gave us comfort when we needed it most and helped make an incredibly painful process a little easier. I am beyond grateful for the way they cared for my loved one and for the compassion they showed my family.

My mom recently passed away and all of her services were prepaid. At first, I originally contacted…read moreAll Souls Cemetery after hours, who directed me to Twin Chapels Mortuary (TCM). I spoke to Vincent and explained that my mother had just passed and made arrangements to have her body removed. I vividly remembered that my contract had a Sacramento funeral home, so when I found the contract, I politely called Vincent back to cancel. I was unaware at that time that Covid created a partnership between All Souls Cemetery and Twin Chapels Mortuary, so Vincent assured me that I was not breaching any contract and scheduled an appointment with the Funeral Director. I was happy Vincent called the other Funeral home and explained the situation in my behalf; besides it made sense to keep things local. This is the first time I have been to TCM and was very curious how it was laid out. We met with Greg Silva, and since Mom's services were prepaid, everything was seamless. He answered every question we had, even gave me his cell phone # for any questions after our meeting, of which Greg always responded in a timely manner. Greg was coordinating with our church in real time for available dates. We left knowing the exact dates of the vigil and funeral mass. After we picked a Memorial book, Greg gave us a tour of the chapel where the service will be held and the dining area where guests can have light refreshments. Greg also informed us that TCM will print us a poster of Mom for the viewing at no cost. The layout of the chapel where my mom's services would be was a good size, it can accommodate up to 300 people, even extend to 400 if needed by removing the partitions. There is a 2nd exact chapel on the opposite side, hence they were called Twin Chapels. There is ample parking on the side and at the back, also plenty of street parking if the lot is full. The size was perfect for our service, not too big, not too small. During the week, I finished Mom's obituary and emailed it to Greg. It was uploaded within minutes of receipt! We then dropped off Mom's attire and met Tracy that day. She was very helpful with the additional service questions I had; she even informed me that she would be the one assisting on the day of the service. I also had the opportunity to talk to Jessica on a few things and she too was very helpful. Day of the Visitation started at 4, however TCM allowed us to be there an hour early to set-up. Everything was set-up and saw that TCM made 2 posters of my mom! For the dining area, TCM provided complimentary Coffee and tea; and had 2 dispensers for hot and cold water. We anticipated a good turn out so we brought extra 8 oz water bottles and extra coffee makers. Except for a few minor electrical shorts, everything was well organized. Trudy was always readily available to help. Day of the Funeral Mass - the mass was at noon, however since TCM was opened at 9am, they allowed us to be there early to pay final respects before they closed the casket. Around 11am, Dave Reeder, Funeral Director in Charge, summoned the pall bearers and explained their roles, gave us funeral stickers for our cars, and also informed us the time we were leaving so we could say our final goodbyes to Mom. TCM brought the 2 posters and 2 floral wreaths for the church. Again, another well organized event to the church and after the Mass. Since Mom was going to be cremated, we did not go to the cemetery. TCM staff collected all the flowers and posters who brought it back to TCM for us to collect later that afternoon. TCM has a crematory onsite and will be handling Mom's cremains. Our overall experience with TCM was a positive one from start to finish! They treated us with empathy, compassion and respect. One of the few (if not the only) locally own funeral homes in Vallejo, I highly recommend their services for your loved ones. Thank you TCM for a beautiful, well executed service for mom.

He answered all of my questions, even the ones I didn't realize I had. We felt incredibly supported and treated with compassion, professionalism, and genuine kindness.

There is a deep sense of peace that comes with leaving your loved one in their hands. I cannot recommend them enough. If this review had 10 stars to give, they would deserve every single one.

Colonial Chapel was the top of mind choice due to familiarity attending funerals there as early as the 70's. The service they provided was fine. The gal that worked there was helpful during a difficult time for me and my family. Without going into details, there was a glitch in our process which resulted in an undesirable outcome. Whether it was lack of communication between the workers or poor planning, we had to deal with it as it was out of our control. But we were NOT happy about it at all. Price of the service was reasonable. Process was easy. The gal was helpful to walk us through the process and keep us updated on what was happening. She was very sympathetic which is important if you work with grieving clients. She provided the death certificates we requested and made the arrangements with the National Cemetery on our behalf. Other than the undesirable glitch we experienced, the service provided was sufficient for what we needed.

My dad lost his battle with cancer, and saying goodbye to him was the hardest experience I have ever faced. Priscilla handled all of the cemetery arrangements, while George managed the funeral, church, and burial services with incredible compassion and professionalism. During a time filled with grief, stress, and uncertainty, George and Priscilla were a source of comfort and guidance. They made a very difficult process feel seamless and treated our family with kindness, dignity, and genuine care every step of the way. They far exceeded our expectations, and I truly don't know what we would have done without them. Queen of Heaven is a beautiful and peaceful cemetery nestled in the foothills of Lafayette. The grounds are serene and impeccably maintained, and the chapel is one of the most beautiful cemetery churches I have ever seen. Knowing my dad rests in such a special place brings our family comfort. I was also told they offer a monthly Saturday memorial service to honor and remember loved ones who have recently passed. As Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on my dad's life and the impact cancer has on so many families. This month, I completed a cycling fundraiser to help raise awareness and support the fight against cancer in memory of my dad and for all those who have passed away or continue to battle this disease. It reminded me how precious life truly is. What I've learned through this journey is simple: if there are things you've always wanted to do, places you've wanted to see, or people you've wanted to spend time with, do it now. Don't wait. Life is precious, and it passes by far too quickly. Thank you, George, Priscilla, and the entire team at Queen of Heaven. This review may be long overdue, but our gratitude remains just as strong today as it was a year ago. We will never forget your kindness, compassion, and the comfort you brought our family during our darkest days. In loving memory of my dad.
