Sunset View Cemetery & Mortuary

Nestled in the rolling hills of the East Bay with sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the downtown San Francisco skyline, Sunset View Cemetery & Mortuary has served the El Cerrito community with compassion and excellence for over a century. Founded in 1908, the cemetery has been a cherished final resting place for generations of families. The on-site mortuary, which has been celebrating lives since the 1960s, provides a full range of funeral, burial, and cremation services, ensuring that every family receives personalized and respectful care during their time of loss.

Sunset View is more than a cemetery—it is a peaceful retreat where families can gather to honor their loved ones. The grounds are impeccably maintained, offering a serene environment for reflection and remembrance. The facility has been thoughtfully renovated to combine modern comfort with timeless dignity. The spacious chapel can seat up to 175 guests, while the intimate Jade Room accommodates 20–30 for visitations or smaller services. Three private arrangement offices are furnished with soft colors and comfortable furniture to provide a calming atmosphere for planning. For post-service gatherings, the newly designed reception room can host up to 80 guests for seated dinners or cocktail receptions, and the open-air patio offers a scenic setting for smaller groups of about a dozen. The facility also features state-of-the-art audio/visual equipment, warm lighting, and a home-like atmosphere to make every family feel welcome.

Sunset View is proud to serve families of all faiths and backgrounds. The dedicated staff, led by professionals like funeral director Tanya, are known for their caring, respectful, and personalized service. Families consistently praise the team for going the extra mile to fulfill their wishes, whether for a traditional Italian Catholic funeral or a simple, intimate ceremony. The cemetery also offers a variety of burial options, cremation services, and pet cemetery services, along with military honors for veterans.

Accessibility is a priority, with an assistive hearing loop, wheelchair-accessible entrance, and accessible parking. The cemetery and mortuary are open seven days a week from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, making it convenient for families to visit and plan. For over 110 years, Sunset View Cemetery & Mortuary has been a place where families come to remember—a lasting legacy of beauty, compassion, and community.
