Both our San Francisco and Emeryville locations are full service mortuaries complete with chapels. As you can see from the photos in this album, our garden, atrium, chapels, and office spaces have all been designed and decorated with a quiet, elegant simplicity, and are completely handicapped accessible. Our chapels comfortably seat 50 people, and are available for 1 or 3 hour intervals. In Emeryville we also operate our own onsite crematory and embalming facility. We adhere to the highest professional standards in our operation, as evidenced by a spotless 14 year inspection record. Pacific Interment does all maintenance in-house, which allows for a level of excellence that would, under other circumstances, pass substantial cost on to the consumer.

practice in this country (since it's obviously been practiced for
thousands of years around the world.)"
