Cypress Lawn Funeral Home

Cypress Lawn Funeral Home & Memorial Park, located at 1370 El Camino Real in Colma, California, has been a cherished sanctuary for San Francisco Bay Area families for over a century. Nestled on rolling terrain along the historic California coastline, this breathtaking property offers a serene and dignified setting for remembrance, reflection, and community gathering.

The funeral home provides a comprehensive range of services to meet the diverse needs of the families it serves.

In addition, Cypress Lawn offers memorialization within its historic garden estates, arranged receptions and catering for post-service gatherings, and pre-planning options to lock in current pricing and spare loved ones from difficult decisions. The facility is fully wheelchair accessible and offers on-site parking, and the compassionate team is available 24/7 to provide immediate guidance and support when a death occurs or is near.

Cypress Lawn features four masterfully crafted chapels, each with its own unique character: the Noble Chapel, a true work of art; the Newall Chapel, built in 1893 and surviving the great earthquake; the warm and light-filled Tiffany Chapel; and the Olivet Chapel, founded in 1896 with breathtaking views from the base of San Bruno Mountain. These historic spaces provide a warm, light-filled environment for reflection and accommodate groups of all sizes.

Beyond traditional services, Cypress Lawn embraces modern technology to help families preserve legacies. The Family Website platform offers a permanent, private digital archive where family and friends can collaboratively store photos, stories, and documents for generations. The Cypress Cares mobile app allows users to locate graves, send flowers, or request a consultation instantly.
