Information

HISTORY & FACILITIES

Historic in character, in 1863 Saint Mary Cemetery was the first cemetery established in the community of Oakland. Located in what was then the outskirts of the city, and meeting the needs of only one parish, the parishes and the cemetery grew simultaneously.

Saint Mary Cemetery is now a 42-acre property. There are now more than 40 sections devoted to ground burial, several community mausoleums, and facilities for both ground and above-ground inurnment of cremated remains; there are also numerous private family mausoleums on the property.

Over the course of the cemetery’s nearly 145 years of service, more than 70,000 committal services have taken place. Saint Mary Cemetery, under the patronage of the Blessed Mother, currently supports the Catholic burial needs of 25 parishes of Oakland, Alameda, and Berkeley.

Saint Mary Cemetery continues to offer Catholics and their families places for ground burial, crypt entombment, and cremation inurnment.

The most recent development, Saint Joseph Section, provides commanding views of the Oakland and the San Francisco skyline. This section has a substantial inventory for full ground burial; facilities for ground and above-ground inurnment of cremated remains are also provided.

Cemetery Family Service Counselors are available six days a week for both pre­need and at-need arrangements.
