Alameda Family Funeral & Cremation

Selecting a funeral home was not something that I had given any thought to until the need arose in a very urgent way. I found myself in a crisis situation where the sheriffs department told me to call a mortuary to come take care of a relative. It was a weekend and I had absolutely no idea how to proceed. I got out my phone and did a search for the closest mortuary and Alameda popped up. I gave them a call and explained my situation and the wonderful woman who answered my call walked me through exactly what the next steps were. I didn't get her name, but she was absolutely fantastic to work with in a very difficult situation. A few hours later, the right folks arrived and took care of the situation. The following Monday first thing in the morning we went to the funeral home and met with Paul. Paul was right out of central casting for somebody to guide us through what would happen over the next two weeks. Paul spent about an hour and a half with us that morning walking us through all of the things we needed to make decisions about and next steps. He was absolutely fantastic to work with and I can't possibly imagine how that very difficult experience could have been any better than to have been guided by Paul. I hope that if I ever find myself in this situation in the future, I can find Paul or somebody exactly like him. For the funeral itself, Michael was our funeral director and again we could not have asked for a better person to be in charge. Michael knew exactly what to do intuitively and working with him at the cemetery was absolutely fantastic. I really can't recommend Alameda Family any higher. Everything was taken care of in a perfect way.

We would like to thank Alameda Family Funeral & Cremation and your entire staff for all you did for us as we mourned the loss of our mother. You were there for us every step of the way and fulfilled our every need, comforting us and supporting us like you would your own family. The high-quality life-stream truly was magnificent and it enabled those who could not attend the funeral to view in real time or to watch later…

To lose a dear friend, and be so far away from her celebration for a life well-lived is difficult. Having the ceremony broadcast put me in the room, and allowed me to hear from family, friends and associates how right I was from the first day I met the fabulous Mayor/Governor Hung Wei that she was special. My condolences to her family and all who knew her as friends.

Our family was so grateful for the excellent care Alameda Family provided to us after the unexpected stillbirth of our son. We had no idea where to turn next, but fortunately the charge nurse at the hospital we delivered at highly recommended we contact Alameda Family first, that they would "take great care of us." We felt so safe and were treated with so much respect by Paul. Their whole team was so sweet to our little kids, and we felt like they sincerely cared about our situation. They did so much to accommodate our family in all of the little details during such a difficult and stressful time. Everything was perfectly arranged for the burial, which was so healing for all of us. The complicated logistics of the delivery of our child, plus the stress of the choices and next steps were numerous, but working with all of the Alameda team was truly a tender mercy for our family and we thank you all for making it so simple to give our son the dignity and respect his little life deserved.

We used Alameda Family Cremation service for the cremation of my beloved father, Natvarlal upon his passing in December 2024. Excellent Service - caring as well as informative in the process for legal formalities and international travel for cremation remains. Staff was very professional & friendly, understood and accommodated Hindu rites and beliefs and were very respectful of our wishes.
