Services
We understand that making the many decisions which come at a time of loss can be difficult. We offer our support by providing you with two options as you consider making immediate arrangements. With online Arrangements, you can take your time to select the arrangements which are best for your preferences and budget.
Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.
Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress. Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice.
Most of us are not prepared to plan and carry out a funeral ceremony for someone we love. And so much of the information available on this critically important subject fails to focus on what is most important: having a personalized, meaningful funeral that helps families and friends begin the healing process of mourning after the death of someone we love.
Someone you love has died. You are now faced with the difficult, but important, need to mourn. Mourning is the open expression of your thoughts and feelings regarding the death and the person who died. It is an essential part of healing. The following articles provide many practical suggestions to help you move toward healing in your unique grief journey.

Highly recommend this place Alameda Family funeral & cremation. Staffs are very professional, friendly, and great help. Price was reasonable compare to other services that charge double. Place is extraordinary pleasing with warmth atmosphere and class decoration. It’s a big place and has plenty of spaces for parking. It also has its own crematorium within the building, which is marvelous thought and beautiful designed. Very convenience! Also it provides funeral service per booking schedule, not a multi funeral services in one place. Ever get lost at the funeral place and would walk into someone

When our 3 month old passed away recently, we did not know where to begin and dreaded the upcoming conversations with various funeral homes in the area. We knew it was a business, but we hoped individuals would be compassionate and understanding during these conversations.
After having very business-like meetings with popular funeral homes and still feeling unsettled, we came across Alameda Family Funeral & Cremation on Yelp. We read nothing but positive reviews about this family owned business, especially with newborn arrangements.
When we first spoke on the phone, Valerie put us at ease and

Recently I used the services of Alameda family funeral & cremation. I flew in from
Out of town and they were the first folks I spoke to for services for my mom. The staff was great Valerie, and Mike were very helpful at first. So we were using my mom’s life insurance to pay for the services and this is when the issues started. Now I have no experience on how this process worked and relied on the experts of the funeral home. We chose cremation service and was under the impression we would use the money from the insurance for the service. The 1st red flag-- was when I mentioned this to them and
