Services
Pacific Interment operates from three facilities: the original San Francisco location at 2100 Folsom Street in the Mission District, an Emeryville facility housing the crematory and administrative offices, and an Oakland location serving as fleet base. The San Francisco and Oakland locations include adjoining chapels for memorial services. The Emeryville facility contains the crematory, memorial chapel, and showroom. All three are described as brick-and-mortar facilities with complete in-house preparation and viewing capabilities—not virtual or e-commerce operations.
Pacific Interment structures services around simplicity and transparency, offering direct options for families seeking minimal intervention while maintaining capability for traditional memorial events. Their aquamation service represents a distinctive environmental alternative not widely available in California.
Pacific Interment has operated from its Folsom Street location in San Francisco's Mission District since 1985, building a reputation as a technology-forward, family-owned funeral home. The business distinguishes itself through vertical integration: they own and operate their own crematory in Emeryville, maintain a licensed refrigerated holding facility, and handle all preparation and viewing services in-house rather than outsourcing to third parties.
The funeral home gained national recognition when Jessica Mitford, author of the 1963 exposé "The American Way of Death," selected Pacific Interment for her own cremation. Mitford's book, which documented exploitative practices in the funeral industry, made her choice of Pacific Interment a notable endorsement of their transparency and consumer-focused approach.
Pacific Interment serves six Bay Area counties—San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Mateo, and Santa Clara—from three brick-and-mortar locations. They emphasize leveraging technology to streamline arrangements while maintaining what they describe as the attention to detail expected of a family-run local business.
I'm so grateful that Pacific Interment helped me through the tough times a couple months ago when my dad passed away. They're friendly and professional, the whole process is super easy, the pricing is really reasonable, and I highly recommend them.
Experience has been pretty awful. My sister and I both called regarding my father receiving cremation services and not one person offered their condolences to us, ever. The first time I called (Saturday 1/14) the person answering the phones didn't know that they were closed on ML...
I couldn't have picked a better place in terms of having my grand Father's unexpected and recent passing taken care of. Amanda at pacific was extremely responsive, and super communicative on the entire process. This was my first time dealing with a death and I was extremely lost ...
