Piedmont Funeral Services and Mountain View Cemetery

This place is always my favorite go to place, for a place full of dead ppl there is still so much life lol. It's beautiful everything there is just so amazing. The grounds are taken good care of, the level of care and respect for the grounds is just lovely. So many different fun animals you come across is so enjoyable. The history you can stumble upon is so fun, I mean I stumbled across the first senator of California and I was like oh wow so cool. I feel so at ease and at peace there, I feel safe and the animals feel that too. The place is so big u keep finding new things so it's always a real treat to come back because it's always different but then u also have the comforts of things being the same as well.

Beautiful cemetery with easily walkable and drivable sections. Worth a visit just to see the older mausoleums and other unique architecture. During the week there wasn't a lot of people walking around. Weekends are likely more busy. A significant section of the place was under construction. A must see in the area.

A beautiful cemetery in the middle of Oakland. It’s easily walkable and drivable, well maintained, and is a great place to spend time taking in the views of the bay and appreciating some beautiful trees. Just be sure to check their opening hours - recently they’ve only been open Wednesday afternoon and Saturday until 4:30pm.

We love to take a walk here because it’s beautiful - with big views of the city - and safe! I see lots of kids riding bikes here too!

Well i dont know what its like to go thru being placed here but wow what an awesome place. Upon arrival you go past the chapels and funeral home to this big gated area where you start to get an idea that this place is a lot bigger than you might have imagined! As you drive in past the offices there is this really big mausoleum, you have to stop here. Henry J Kaiser is in their and im sure many other well known names. This place is huge and you can easially get lost, reminded me of the movie Phantasm super creepy! As you find yourself outside (a care taker kicks everyone out at 430) we drove around and there what seems to be endless mausoleums and fancy head stones as far as you can see, also creepy. The views from atop of the property are defiently some of the best in the east bay. There are all kinds of structures and art to see. Cant wait to take my segway!! Great sunset spot!

This is a beautiful cemetery. It’s also huge. Many people come here to jog, hike in the hills and even picnic. A lot of historical people were laid to rest here.

One of my most favorite places to go. Astonishingly beautiful views, unique statues and structures, peace, quiet. This is the kind of place you can go to clear your head and enjoy beautiful scenery. People jog, walk their dogs, and pay their respects. I like to go here with my guitar and get creative, this place really inspires me and gets my juices flowing. Excellent for picnics too. Easy to explore. So many different subsections. I really, truly love it here.

Beautiful cemetery, really lovely place to be, to talk a walk.
