About

Chapel of the Roses and Chapel of the Roses Cemetery have served San Luis Obispo since 1929.

Our beautiful funeral home grounds and Tuscan-inspired architecture provide a comfortable and inviting location for families to gather and celebrate the life of a loved one. The foyer of the Chapel of the Roses is filled with filtered sunlight from overhead skylights, and our chapel seats approximately 140 guests.

Personalized funeral services

Lobby at Chapel Of The Roses MortuaryWhether your memorialization plan includes a simple cremation or a full, traditional funeral and a cemetery burial, it’s our honor to help you plan a celebration that reflects the personality and passions of you or your loved one. Our dedicated funeral directors can help you find inspiration almost anywhere—in a favorite song, hobby, or even an iconic style—and turn that inspiration into a funeral service filled with thoughtful and meaningful details. You’ll find there’s almost no limit to the special tribute we can create.

We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to guide you through the difficult process of arranging a funeral, whether you need immediate assistance or are planning ahead. We are home to the only crematory in north San Luis Obispo County, and we are committed to helping our families with compassionate, professional and personal service.

Chapel of the Roses Cemetery

Chapel of the Roses Cemetery is an endowment care property in San Luis Obispo. That means that the cemetery grounds will be meticulously maintained into the future.

Water feature at Chapel Of The Roses MortuaryInside the cemetery's Reflection Garden, the sound of calming waters from a reflecting pond creates a peaceful setting to honor and reflect upon the lives of loved ones. Around the pond, we have stately granite benches and cored posts for the interment of cremated remains. In addition, our new trellis columbarium allows for completely personalized inscriptions.

Surrounded by the scents of lavender, morning glories, ivy, jasmine and roses, our columbarium features both single and double niches.

Our planners are celebration of life experts. We plan more celebrations each year than any other provider, and we know just what to do to create a uniquely beautiful and heartfelt tribute with attention to detail like no other.

We love hearing from the families we serve. Their feedback helps us continue unique and meaningful celebrations that honor loved ones with unparalleled attention to detail.

Having never dealt with a pre-need contract, I had a bit of a learning curve to get comfortable with it. Nicholas was able to explain everything at my level to satisfaction. Wonderful experience.
