Services
The Fremont Boulevard location houses the Chapel of the Angels, described in customer reviews as 'unbelievably beautiful, rustic, and elegant—reminiscent of an old world cottage.' The facility includes a garden hall for viewing services and multiple configurable spaces for ceremonies. The property features on-site parking and is wheelchair accessible. The crematory operates as 'Irvington Memorial,' a privately owned facility on the premises.
The funeral home emphasizes personalized service across all faith traditions, with particular depth of expertise in South Asian religious ceremonies. Their process includes prompt document execution with county and state agencies to enable services within 12-72 hours.
Berge-Pappas-Smith Chapel of the Angels traces its roots to 1913, when Thomas Berge established the original funeral home in Fremont. The Smith family took ownership in 1976, continuing the same tradition of personalized service while expanding their reach across Southern Alameda County and beyond. Today, the second and third generations—including Kevin, Dan, Ian, and Samuel Smith—operate the facility from its Fremont Boulevard location, serving families from Fremont, Newark, Union City, Hayward, Sunol, Milpitas, and San Jose. Their stated commitment centers on helping families plan funerals and cremations according to their own wishes while maintaining what they describe as the highest level of service and care.
Absolutely best of the best. The team at Berge-Pappas-Smith helped us every step of the way. I needed to help my friend's family with a Hindu funeral and cremation. I had NO IDEA what to do. they kindly, and professionally walked me through every step of making this happen...
Donna has a good memory of my Dad's service. Leo Passanissi held my hand. I miss my Dad James Louis Persico.
This place is place comforting and accommodating. Our guests and people watched online was impressed how beautiful that place is. Very organized and professional.
