About Grissom's Cremation & Burial Center

Grissom's Chapel & Mortuary Inc. has been serving East Bay families since 1957 as a family-owned business.

A key distinction is their private, onsite crematory—noted as one of only a few in the area—which ensures their loved ones never leave their care during the cremation process. The company is available 24/7/365 and offers a diverse range of services from traditional funerals to direct cremation, with premium facilities including audio/video systems, reception spaces, and ample onsite parking.
