The Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos), is a Mexican holiday where families welcome back the souls of their deceased relatives for a brief reunion. Honor your love ones by having us place their photos on our alter during our event. Event schedule coming soon, please stay tuned! The roots of the Day of the Dead, celebrated in contemporary Mexico and among those of Mexican heritage in the United States and around the world, go back some 3,000 years, to the rituals honoring the dead in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. The Aztecs and other Nahua people living in what is now central Mexico held a cyclical view of the universe, and saw death as an integral, ever-present part of life.

The Holiday Season can be a difficult time for families who have experienced the loss of a loved one. To support our East Bay Community, Chapel of the Chimes is hosting an in-person Night of Remembrance. Please join us Wednesday, December 7, 2022, from 6 PM to 8 PM in our Reflection Chapel for an evening of honoring your loved ones alongside the community and reflect on a life time of memories. We will feature a tribute slideshow of those who have passed on. QR code for participation in the slideshow coming soon! Thank you for allowing us the honor of joining your family in thoughtful remembrance this Holiday Season.
