Piedmont Funeral Services and Mountain View Cemetery operates from a prominent location at 5000 Piedmont Avenue in Oakland, California. The property encompasses Mountain View Cemetery, a historic burial ground that now functions as both an active cemetery and a cultural destination. The organization holds California funeral director license FD #2210.
The cemetery distinguishes itself through its dual role as a community resource. In addition to funeral and cemetery services, Mountain View Cemetery opens its grounds to the public for recreation on select days and offers free docent-led tours twice monthly. This public programming reflects an operational philosophy that treats the cemetery as shared community space rather than solely a private facility.
A full-service funeral home now operates on the premises, providing families with comprehensive end-of-life services within the cemetery grounds.
