The Italian Cemetery

Call Directions Website

The Italian Cemetery The Italian Cemetery has been open to all faiths and nationalities from the very beginning. The Italian Cemetery provides all cemetery services.

The Italian Cemetery has been in business since 1899 and was part of an organization that focused on serving Italian immigrants in the San Francisco area in the early 1900s. The cemetery has been open to all faiths and nationalities as it grows and evolves to serve all Bay Area families. The sensitive and experienced staff is always ready to help you with end-of-life arrangements, offering compassion and attention to detail. When you have a need that comes up, whether it is unexpected or not, the staff works to arrange a healing and memorable service. Pre-need arrangements are popular in cemetery planning so that you can secure your burial plots for the whole family. As you choose burial spaces, think about the location you would desire. Do you want cemetery lots that are next to a prominent tree and easy to find? How many family members would you like to reserve graves for? Look into monuments for your loved one as well, whether you choose a prominent monument that can be seen across the cemetery or an understated symbol for just your family to enjoy. Permanent memorialization offers comfort to families and friends, so it is important to be thoughtful about these choices. When you choose The Italian Cemetery, you can plan a graveside ceremony for your family members to gather at the burial site. Chapel rentals are available for funeral services before the burial if desired. Include veteran services and military honors in the burial services and ceremony. As you look into burial options, consider various options like crypts, family vaults, mausoleum entombments, niches for cremated ashes, and more. Then, find the burial option that is right for your loved one. The Italian Cemetery serves the communities of San Francisco, San Mateo, Daly City, South San Francisco, San Bruno, Burlingame, Pacifica, Redwood City, San Carlos, and Millbrae. Let the staff help you with a genealogy search as you find ancestors on the cemetery grounds. The Italian Cemetery is located at 540 F St Colma, CA 94014.
