Grissom’s Chapel and Mortuary has been a landmark of the San Lorenzo community since 1957. Established by E.J. and Jean Grissom, the original location of the mortuary was on Hesperian Boulevard, but due to local expansion, they were forced to move to make room for a freeway onramp. Our location on Lewelling Boulevard opened in 1969 and has served thousands of families of all faiths and beliefs. Even after the death of E.J. in 1980, Jean (affectionately known as “Mrs. G.”) continued with their dream until her retirement in 1990 when our family purchased the mortuary.

Grissom’s Chapel & Mortuary was founded on the principles of integrity, affordability, and respect. We are dedicated to remaining one of the few family-owned and operated mortuaries in the San Francisco Bay Area. We expanded upon our mission in 1996 when Grissom’s Cremation & Burial Center was established in San Ramon, and again in 2012 when our private crematory was constructed at the San Lorenzo location. With these additions, we have been able to better serve all of our local communities with reasonably priced cremation and traditional funeral services.

We strive to treat all clients as we would want to be treated and are committed to giving you and your family:

• The respect and compassion you deserve regardless of the price range or services you select.
• An accurate price quote over the telephone.
• The services you desire without hidden fees.
• Staff and a facility that provide an unmatched level of support.
• Information and choices - not pressure - when making these difficult decisions.
  

We encourage you to visit our spacious facility, meet our family, and compare our prices. You are sure to see the difference.

Thank you for this opportunity to serve you,
