Mission Programs

Our mission is to provide guidance and wisdom on end of-life services.

Pastoral Care Program

CFCS is here to help bereaved Catholic families suffering the loss of a loved one. Too often, that suffering is combined with physical and social isolation, and the Church has a chance to fill the void of loss with faith and compassion. Our qualified Pastoral Ministers’ will make contact with our recently bereaved families, offering prayer, consolation, and comfort to those in a time of suffering.

All Souls Remembrance Program

CFCS offers at no charge, to anyone, of any faith, who has cremated remains at home or is considering scattering, the dignified committal of the remains at any of our cemeteries. The committal will occur at the All Souls Remembrance Crypt and then the remains will be permanently interred within the consecrated grounds of the Catholic Cemetery

Mother Teresa Program

With the Mother Teresa Program, CFCS is able to give back to the community by ensuring that those in need in our community receive sacred and dignified funeral, cremation and cemetery services.

Family Heritage Program

This unique program allows for graves or crypts already owned by families to be transformed into a family estate. Depending on the grave or crypt selected, a number of cremated remains can typically be added. The plot will serve as a family’s final gathering place, allowing family members who have lived apart to be together on their final journey.

Precious Lives Program

This program provides caring funeral and cemetery financial support for those who have suffered the loss of a child. The program also provides sacred interment services in the Order of Christian Funerals, for hospitals within the community, for the death of an unborn child at any of our Catholic Cemeteries.

History

Cooper Chapel has been a part of the fabric of the Oakland community for generations. Conveniently located on Fruitvale Avenue, Cooper Chapel is among the finest and largest funeral homes in our community. In 1912, the first funeral service was held at the Clarence N. Cooper Mortuary. As the family business grew, the current building on Fruitvale Avenue was developed in 1918. Clarence Coopers was active in caring for the surrounding communities for 17 years.

Family members of Clarence Cooper and part owner and long time Director John McCormick continued to support the community until 2007, when the Diocese of Oakland Catholic Cemeteries assumed responsibility for the mortuary. With a deep-rooted history, the Oakland Dioceses’ are committed to carrying on the long established and proud tradition of the Cooper Family.
