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.

I had such a wonderful experience with Vaca Hills Chapel despite the circumstances. It's never easy loosing a loved one, but Jason was very compassionate and helpful regarding the cremation of my mother. My family met him onsite to fill out paperwork and choose urns. He was very patient with us and answered all of our questions regarding the process and obtaining death certificates. I would highly recommend their services.

Always a personal tragedy experience when you are rating a funeral home service, but I find it very appropriate given their service, professionalism, and pricing. This particular funeral chapel was very responsive to my inquiries, met me to go over details, offered as much as they could in terms of services during these COVID-19 restrictions, and were very clear & transparent about their pricing / charges. On top of that, Jason was very accomodating & kind. Suffice to say, they made an extremely difficult personal time a little bit easier! The facilities were good, clean, and easy to use

Brigette and Jason were both warm, understanding and quick to help us through a very difficult process when my mother passed away. Bridgette quickly assessed what we needed and knew exactly what to do. Brigette also goes the extra mile all through the process, making sure that you are at ease to be able to attend to other details. The fact that they had a crematorium on site was also relieved a lot of stress - that was very important to us.
We highly recommend Vaca Hills Chapel to help you through your difficult time. They were simply the best, and we deeply appreciated all they did for

After the recent passing of a family member in a distant city we had some challenges related to the arrangements. Brigitte and her staff graciously fulfilled our every need and went far beyond, even to the point of working on Christmas eve for us. Her (and their) efficiency in looking after every detail, all with compassion, and kindness were such a blessing during a very difficult time. Thank you Brigitte and staff.

Thank you for the compassion and diligence you showed in december for my mother's funeral arrangements. You made an extremely difficult time as easy on us as it could possibly be, and our family appreciated it beyond words. You worked with our group of people who needed to come in and dress my mothers body for her religious burial, and were very kind. Thank you.

It is a very sad occasion when you must come to this facility. I want to thank the staff for doing such an excellent job of handling my friend's father's funeral. The event was peaceful and elegant. The space was just right for a small gathering. The lighting inside is good, and the pews are comfortable. Nice touches on the announcements for people to take and the sign in book. Well done! My only suggestion to update the place is replace the "Gentleman" sign with a Unisex bathroom sign. It's confusing for woman because we think we're supposed to go down the hall to

Sadly, this is the second time I have had to use Vaca Hills Chapel. One was in 2003 and the last over this Christmas (2017).
Both times everything was handled expertly and compassionately.
Brigitte offered services and supplies they sell but was in no way pushy about obtaining the items from them. She was available to us during the planning phase and responded promptly every time we contacted her even though it was during the holidays.
On the day of the service, Jason and another gentleman (I apologize but forgot his name) attended to everyone and everything expertly and the service went smoothly

My mom was on hospice care. We knew she was close to death. I called several funeral homes inquiring about cremation services. I was seeking basic information. One funeral home representative decided to give me the details of the process of cremation and storage. It was morbid and insensitive. After a good cry, I called Vaca Hills Chapel. I spoke with Bridget. She was sensitive, compassionate and comforting. Vaca Hills was also the most reasonable in price. Even if they were the most expensive, I would have chosen them because of their compassion. After my mom died, they cared for her

I called the chapel to get a quote on funeral services for myself (in the future). I was told that I would get a call back and some information in the mail. After a week with no communication, I called back, got an apology, and was told I would be called back the next day. It's now at least three days later and no call or information. Does this sound like this is a business one wants to use in the future?

We had the wake for my SO's grandmother here. The staff was accommodating and provided many little details that we had forgotten. They allowed us plenty of space for the traditional Filipino refreshments and they were helpful but stayed out of the way. I highly suggest this place if ever you have to celebrate the life of your loved one.

I attended a service and burial here for my friend's mother. Everything was very nicely done, well organized and ran smoothly. Every employee I encountered was respectful and customer service driven. My friend said that Brigitte made everything easier for her and her family.
Less than a month later, I had my own unexpected loss. Luckily I now knew which funeral home to turn to and they exceeded my expectations with their kindness, tact, and efficiency. It seems to me also that they are affordable comparatively and they do not push to up-sell their services.
I highly recommend them.

I called and researched several funeral homes in the area (Napa, Fairfield, and Vacaville) one of which was Vaca Hills Chapel. I contacted Brigitte and e-mailed her with several questions all of which she clearly and promptly responded to with no hard sell. She was very nice, helpful, and informative.Vaca Hills Chapel was very competitive on their pricing compared to other funeral homes. We opted for the traditional package, which was more cost effective. This included prayer cards, guest register book, one death certificate, and burial permit, which other funeral homes charged separately.

I went here for a memorial and viewing and it was a really nice place. The staff are all nice and respectful. The deceased looked great and I heard that from several people as well. The pews are padded and the stone wall behind where the casket rests was nice.
Only two cons: I wish there was tissue in each pew or closer than it was and the water doesn't taste good from either the fountain or the bottled water. I think the bottled water was just chilled tap water and it's not good.
