Our years of expertise in caring for families from all walks and backgrounds have given us a wealth of knowledge. Families choose us for our leadership in the field, dedication to quality service, and the highest level of integrity. Arthur Thompson graduated from San Francisco College of Mortuary Science. Thompson Funeral Home was established in Oakland on Christmas Day 1969. Thompson was looking to create a funeral home that would focus on the two main parts of death: emotional and physical. Funerals, inurnments, and entombments are all part of the physical. Working with families to create healing experiences is emotional. This intimate and peaceful setting allows people to find peace, joy, and renewal. That's what makes our work so rewarding.
