What Families Are Saying
Our Family has used COC of Oakland for several family members. We absolutely love the excellent service. The staff go above and beyond and they understand "Comfort & Care". I've purchased a pre-arrangement for future use for my other parent because we know that they will take care of our Family!

I'm no stranger to loss. With that being said, I recently experienced one of the toughest ever. When the circumstances are bad, it really helps to be handled with care. Cynthia really treated us with the kindness and compassion that we needed, and I'm grateful she was there.

The service was excellent! Much respect for Ms. Elizabeth who supported my niece’s choice to personally bathe and prepare her mothers body for her family viewing. It was a most sacred moment and Elizabeth Guided us without judgement but with shared joy. She was on her third day of working at The Chapel… Job well done. Thank you!

Everyone at Oakland Chapel of The Chimes was so nice and caring. Especially the ones that worked with our family directly and continuously which were Ed and Min Spencer; we felt the comfort, love, care and concern that we needed during our time of loss. Thank you so much, it meant more to us than you could ever know. May God Bless you all.

My husband passed away unexpectedly. Chapel of the chimes helped me and my family pull together a beautiful celebration of life . Nicole and Minister Spencer are amazing people. They guided us through the entire experience.

My husband Enrique and I highly recommend Chapel of the Chimes and Mrs. Donna Matthews for your prearrangement needs. She was very professional and pleasantly accommodating. Two thumbs up!
