St. Joseph Cemetery and Funeral Center is among the finest and largest in our community. The lush greens and sprawling vineyards of this historical cemetery are proudly maintained and cared for, creating a peaceful, serene experience for our visitors. St. Joseph cemetery was established in 1914 and is situated upon 58 acres of land. The Good Shepard mausoleum was completed in 1928 and is situated as a center focal point of the cemetery. Our newly constructed funeral center offers beautiful chapels and a large reception room to support the needs of our families. Our mission is to serve our community by offering a complete range of cemetery and funeral options and maintaining a place for prayer, reflection, hope and remembrance for generations to come.


The lush grounds are proudly maintained and cared for, creating a peaceful, serene experience for our visitors. In 2008, St. Joseph planted vineyards in the rolling hills of the cemetery to provide grapes for sacramental wine in the Oakland Diocese. Rock Wall Wine Company of Alameda is producing a sacramental rosé wine using 100% of the grapes grown at the cemetery.

St. Joseph’s Cemetery and Funeral Center provides options for traditional ground burial, cremation niches, mausoleum crypts, and family estates. In addition, St. Joseph’s provides funeral and cremation services to the community, becoming a complete resource for your funeral and cemetery needs. Whether you are interested in advanced planning or in need of immediate assistance, our Family Service Advisors and Funeral staff are available to offer support and guidance to our families.

“The staff was caring, respectful and provided personalized customer service. Funeral director, Tanya was delightful to work with and went the extra mile helping me with the service. She was able to fulfill all my wishes to present an Italian Catholic funeral.”

4worldlovers: We are looking for any pictures of the cemetery to aid in our restoration efforts. Unfortunately, a number of headstones have gone missing or have been vandalized over the years including recently. As we acquire photographic evidence, we will take a current picture from the same location for comparison to determine what may be missing and or in need of repair. Thank you in advance for your help. For digitized photos, please utilize our Photo Project Form to upload.

4worldlovers: Cemetery and Funeral Home is a unique place, where families, friends and their loved ones connect through cycles of nature, memory, and conservation. A National Wildlife Federation Habitat, the rolling hills of our grounds are a place where every tree, rock and bird become a living memorial. Our main building, which houses a landmark chapel and gathering room for remembrance and memorial services, is a state of the art architectural masterpiece.
