Oak Hill Funeral Home & Memorial Park

Oak Hill Funeral Home & Memorial Park, located at 300 Curtner Avenue in San Jose, California, is a comprehensive funeral and cemetery provider that has served the Santa Clara Valley for generations. As the oldest non-secular cemetery in California, its history dates back to 1839 when it was known as Pueblo Graveyard. Renamed Oak Hill Cemetery in 1858 and later Oak Hill Memorial Park, it is the final resting place for many of the settlers who shaped San Jose's development. The funeral home was built in 1957, with the Chapel of the Oaks added in 1971. Today, the property spans 350 beautifully maintained acres, making it the largest cemetery in the area, offering sweeping views of Silicon Valley and the Santa Clara Valley.

Oak Hill Funeral Home welcomes all religions and cultures, operating 365 days a year with 24/7 availability. The facility encompasses over 20,000 square feet, featuring seven chapels, eight viewing rooms, and three reception rooms. Notable chapels include the historic Chapel of Roses—a 1933 English-style Tudor cottage with an indoor water wall—and the Chapel of the Oaks, which houses the world's largest replica of Michelangelo's "Pieta" statue, crafted from Carrara marble. The Sunshine Chapel, designed with Asian influences, accommodates Buddhist services with proper ventilation for incense burning.

Services include traditional burial, cremation, and memorialization. Oak Hill has an on-site crematory, ensuring dignified care throughout the cremation process. The funeral home offers a range of cremation options, from simple cremations to memorial spaceflights and underwater reef memorials. The memorial park provides diverse interment choices, including ground burials with upright markers or monument ledgers, cremation gardens, columbaria, and private cremation estates alongside a pond. The grounds feature approximately 30 marble statues, including the Twelve Apostles, a Virgin Mary overlooking San Jose, and a 30-foot cross visible across the valley.

Oak Hill Memorial Park is environmentally conscious, using reclaimed water and drought-resistant landscaping. The cemetery honors veterans with special memorial services and displays military vehicles on Memorial Day. Community involvement includes the Kohl's Cares for Kids program, school garden projects, and support for the Sean M. Walsh K-9 Memorial Foundation. Annual events include Mother's Day, Father's Day, Memorial Day, Dia de los Muertos celebrations, and a holiday candle-lighting ceremony. A 9/11 memorial at the corner of Monterey Road and Curtner Avenue honors the fallen. The Angel of Hope memorial service, featuring a monarch butterfly release, provides comfort for families who have lost children.
